b Gentlemen:

\\,

g This refers to your application dated July 9,1979, as amended, requestin v m

approval of the Model No. C-10 package.

Your response dated September 21,1981, concerning our December 31, 1981 request was not responsive in that:

4 I

(a) Evidence was not provided that the Model No. C-10 had been tested i

in the orientatien that would cause maximum damage to the lockbox i

as a result of the free drop and subsequent puncture test.

In j

fact, Photographs P-7 and P-8 indicate that the initial impact was away from the area of the lockbox. The initial point of impact and i

the condition of the lockbox following the tests was not explicitly stated and supported by photographs.

(b) Weld sizes were not shown on Drawing No. 607-7001-031.

j (c) A positive means for pressure relief was not provided.

It is not i

apparent that spaces exist around the "S" tube at the lockbox to

{

pemit gases to escape nor the spaces, if existing, are adequate to vent the decomposition gases of the polyurethane fom to pmvent l

pressure buildup inside the device.

l Please advise us within thirty (30) days from the date of this letter when this information will be provided. The additional information requested by this letter should be submitted in the fom of revised pages.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, we would be pleased to meet with you and your staff.

Sincerely, Ori inal Signed by G
