Mr. Richard C. DeYoung s
May 16, 1983 Page 2 with the appropriate individuals.
Until this revicw haa been completed, the Company will not be able to evaluate the report and take whatever additional steps may be necessary before responding to specific allegations.
In order to' assure that the Company's reply properly responds to all allegations concerning quality assurance, the Applicant therefore requests an extension of the time to respond until June 27, 1983.
In view of the corrective actions undertaken to date, as noted in the letter from-Region I,
the extension requested should not pose any problem.
If you have any questions, please call me.
Sincerely,
