Subject:
Response to Generic letter 90-01, NRC Regulatory impact Survey Gentlemen:
j Enclosed please find completed Questionnaire Sheets in ri..ponse to Reference (b). As suggested by INP0 and NUMARC, we have not included INPO assist visits or self-initiated self-assessment-activities.
We are pleased with the NRC's desire to assess the impact they and others are having on individual licensees and their management. One area we are concerned with is the impact team inspections are having on licensees and their impact on the licensing process.
Impact is particularly heavy in evolving areas where generic. guidance has not progressed at the same pace as regulatory expectations -
Examples may be recent procurement inspections and SSFIs conducted throughout the industry. We recognize that important generic issues are being raised in these areas; however, we do not believe the vehicle for promoting.those issues is the inspection process unless the NRC's expectations have been communicated on the docket to the licensees beforehand.
