10420 Metric Boulevard Austin, Texas 78758 s.
Gentlemen:
This refers to the QA program conducted by Mr. Ross L. Brown, of this office, on August 17-21, 1981, of your facility at Austin Texas, associated with the manufacturer of component supports and to the disc 1ssions of our findings with Mr. A. P. Adolff and members of his staff at. the conclusion of the inspection.
This inspection was made to confirm that, in the areas inspected, your QA program is being effectively implemented. The inspection effort is not designed to assure that unique quality requirements imposed by a customer
- are being achieved; nor to assure that a specific product, component, or service provided by you to your customers is of acceptable quality. As you know, the NRC requires each of its licensees to assume full responsibility for the quality of specific products, components, or services procured fmm others. You should, therefore, not conclude that the NRC's inspection exempts you from inspections by an NRC licensee or his agents, nor from taking effective corrective action in response to their findings.
Areas examined and our findings are discussed in the enclosed report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of an examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.
During the inspection it was found that the implementation of your QA Program failed to meet certain NRC requirements. The specific findings and references to the pertinent requirements are identified in the enclosures to this letter.
Since corrective and preventative actions were taken and verified before the conclusion of this inspection, no further written response is necessary.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of this letter and the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room. If this report contains anv infomation that you believe to be exempt from disclosure under 10 CFR 9.5(a)(4), it is necessary that you (a) notify this office by telephone within 10 days from the date of this letter of your intention to file a request for withholding; and (b) sub-mit within 25 days from the date of this letter a written application to this office to withhold such infomation.
If your receipt of this letter has been delayed such that less than seven days are available for your review, please
