The documents will be retained in the Region I Off. ice during our review, and will be returned to you at the time of inspection, if _

you desire.

In addition, we would appreciate it if. you would make us aware of any subsequent revisions to those documents that occur to ensure that our

- knowledge of your program is current at the time of the inspection.

The inspection will involve-interviews with you and your staff that are involved with the FFD program.

The entrance meeting will provide ar.

opportunity to schedule ~ inspection activities based upon the availability of the persons to be interviewed.

Following that meeting we would like.to discuss the overall FFD program, go over any questions we have regarding your written policies and procedures, and schedule interviews with you, the Medical Review

. 0fficer, the Employee Assistance Program Director, the FFD Training Director,-

and with other personnel who have substantial responsibilities in the FFD program.

Please ensure that these personnel, or knowledgeable representatives, attend the entrance meeting so that we can schedule interviews with each of them. Additionally, a random sampling of licensee and contractor employees will be selected for interviews to determine their knowledge and understanding of the program. We would appreciate it if you would arrange for a room where our interviews could be conducted in private.
