deviation was identified for your failure to perform an audit by October 3,
'
1978, although an audit was subsequently performed.
The deviation was
identified in our letter dated September 19, 1979.
Your letter to this office
,
dated October 25, 1979, stated that a schedule of audits had been promulgated
)
for all routine audits that were required under your facility license.

From our July 13-16, 1981 inspection it appears that the stated corrective
'
actions were not effective since this item has recurred.
Recurrent and uncorrected items of noncompliance are given additional weight
in the consideration and selection of appropriate enforcement action.
Therefore, in your response to this letter, you should give particular
attention to those actions taken or planned to ensure that identified items of
noncompliance will be completely corrected and will not recur.

Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, documentation of findings of your

'
commercial or financial information within the meaning of 10 CFR 9.5(a)(4) and
shall be subject to disclosure only in accordance with the provisions of 10
CFR 9.12; therefore, the enclosures to this letter, and your response to this
letter will not be placed in the Public Document Room and will receive limited
