Senior Vice President - River Bend Nuclear Group P. O. Box 2951 Beaumont, Texas 77704 Gentlemen:

The NRC has recently revised its enforcement policy. This new policy was described in the Federal Register Notice (47 FR 9987) dated March 9,1982.

In accordance with this policy, the requirement that responses to all Notices of Violation be submitted under oath or affimation is mscinded. Requiring sworn responses remains an NRC option which will be exercised in certain cases, including all cases involving escalated enforcement action.

Accordingly you will note that the Notice of Violation has been changed to eliminate the requirement for a sworn response in those cases where submission under oath or affirmation is not deemed necessary. Whem sworn msponses must be submitted, the Notice of Violation will clearly indicate this. The guidance contained in our letter to you dated May 1,1981, should continue to be used as a format for sworn responses when required.
