John T. Collins, Regional Administrator, Regio i IV

SUBJECT:

ItiVESTIGATION/ INSPECTION - HAYWARD TYLER PUMP COMPANY allegations from former employees concerning an apparent breakdown iq,adino On December 11, 1981, Congressman Markey transmitted to Chairman Pall manufacturing and quality assurance practices at the Hayward Tyler Pump Company of Burlington, Vermont.

These allegations were subsequently ltrans-mitted to Region IV for appropriate action.

During the month of Janu;ary and early February, Region IV interviewed some 32 individuals formerly, or presently, associated with Hayward Tyler Pump Company.

Signed statements v

were taken from eight of these individuals.

Concurrent with the investigation r Region IV also conducted a team inspection of the Hayward Tyler Pump ' Company.

As a result of this inspection, ten items of nonconformance were identified.

I Following my review of these reports, I became concerned that some of the findings raised questions regarding criminality, particularly with respect to possible falsification of records and removal of records prior to an iNRC v

inspection of Hayward Tyler Pump company.

In view of my concerns. I!am requesting that you review the attached draft inspection / investigation reports and provide me guidance as to whether these matters warrant your involvement or referal to the Department of Justice for appropriate action.

Spec'i fically, I would like to know what areas require further investigation and the, nature of any such further investigation.

Since I decided to conduct further investigation, particularly with respect to the allegations of management's failure to implement the QA/QC program, removal of records, and possible falsification of records I would appreciate your input before I begi,n these further investigations.

I I

Should you or any of your people have any questions concerning the draft reports, please contact me directly.
