Mr. James L. Matt

1405 A Nolan River Road

Cleburne, TX 76031

Dear Mr. Matt:

Thank you for your letter of March 7, 1981. While I try to perform as

complete an investigation as possible in each case, the very nature of

most NRC investigations make "thank you" letters rare and unique. Yours

is very much appreciated.

Regarding your suggtstions concerning " pre-dispositions" of Deviation

Disposition Requests (DDR's), I am not sure that you understand the

sysstem fully. Only those individuals who have signature authority and

sign concurrences for DDR dispositions have any responsibility for the

accuracy and acceptability of the dispositions involved. Under the

Fermi system, even those contractor personnel who sign for the " field

proposed disposition" do not have responsibility for the acceptability

of the final disposition. Utility personnel, as representatives of the

" owner," have responsibility for all Code-related matters, and they have

the ultimate responsibility for DDR resolution acceptability.

.

Once an NRC investigation or inspection report is issued, it is not changed,

and your requested addition to page twelve would net change the substance

of the report. However, if you wish, we can make your letter a part of the

public record by sending it to our Public Document Room and distributing it

to recipients of the investigation report. This will be done at your request

only, as we have not previously used your name in a public document.

Please feel free to contact me in the future.

Sincerely,

f7s

James E. Foster

Investigator
