Docket.No. 50-482:
Revision to NRC Commitment Made in WCNOC's Response to NRC Violation 50-482/8519-01 Gentlemen:
The purpose of this letter is to advise the NRC of a deletion of a commitment made in the Reference. The Reference provided Kansas Gas and Electric Company's (KG&E) rerponse to violation 8519-01, which concerned a failure to properly update procedure manuals.
This letter committed KG&E and subsequently Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (WCNOC),
to conduct and document internal surveillances on all. documents.in the Technical Support Center (TSC) and Emergency Operating Facility (EOF) on a
periodic basis by personnel not assigned document control responsibility of the TSC/ EOF.
An evaluation of the necessity to continue performing indeperdent,
-periodic surveillantes was conducted. This evaluation' included 1 review of error
- rates, identification of document control er; ors, and allocation of resources.
Surveillances have documented c.rror rates typically less than
.8%
Errr. rs are also identified and documented through the. Performa.me Improvement Request (PIR) process, and Quality Assurance (QA) biennial-vocument Control Audits.
Also, periodic surveillances utilize various personnel who review all controlled documents in - the TSC and EOF.
These reviews require excessive amounts of time to-complete, and have low documented error rates.
For these reasons it has been concluded that this allocation of resources is not cost effective and represents undue burden.

WM 93-0139 PaEje 2 of 2 As a result of low document control error rates; continued expectations that employees identify, document, and correct document control problems by initiating a PIR, and unnecessary allocation of resources with no reasonable benefit, it was decided to discontinue this. review.
The-Quality Assurance department will continue to perform a biennial audit of the Document Control program to ensure that the Document Control program remains effective.
