The attached evaluation was prepared on an expedited basis in order to meet the current FitzPatrick SALP schedule as orally confimed by the Resident Inspector.
Input was received from the Operator Licensing Branch.
However, no input from DSI and DE is included since there was no significant participation from these groups in the review of the FitzPatrick amendments processed by DL for the period.

itanagement Involvement and Control in Assuring Quality Since most engineering work is vended out, a significant amount of managerial talent is devoted't0' contract administra-tion. There is significant planning and prioritization j
as evidenced by PASNY's involvement in integrated scheduling.
Although reviews are not always timely or thorough, significant improvement has been achieved over the reporting period. As a result, there has been a significant reduction in backlog, with the FitzPatrick license being amended 17 times over the past year.
Due to a large number of personnel assigned to the FitzPatrick site, the operational capabilities i
are above average.
In fact, the licensee's technical strength is most apparent at the site.

Approach to Resolution of Technical Issues from a Safety Standpoint The licensee often demonstrates an awareness of existing as well as pending requirements.
However, the licensee on several occasions has appeared unadvised.
There are very few items outstanding for significant periods of time.
Problems of this type have been restricted to situations wherc,'ligher priority NRR work has displaced work on other items.
Due to excessive personnel turnover, average technical competence is usually demonstrated. However, it is felt that this problem is being addressed and the situation appears to have improved over the past year.
3.
Responsiveless to NRC initiatives The licensee takes schedules seriously, usually makes a best effort to be responsive, and most of the time is prompt in identifying schedular problems.
The licensee is slow to become involved. Although an attempt is made to remain abreast of NRC needs, more often than not responses are reactionary in nature.
Once NRC clarification has been received the licensee usually pursues the solution.
The licensee requires more time and effort due to the fact that a significant amount of work is vended out to their architect engineer or consultants.

Training and Qualification Effectiveness During the evaluation period one SR0 test was administered resulting in a passing grade.
8.
Summary of Previcus Year's Performance Over the past year the licensee's performance has improved. This is, in part, due to the fact that the same personnel.have been assigned-to the FitzPatrick plant and the large post-TMI backlog has been significantly reduced.
b.
Conclusion The licensee is rated Category 2 in this functional area.
