DOCKET NO. 50/395 OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF 12 COMMENTS ON VIRGINIA POWER COMPANY'S PETITION FOR RULEMAKING TO CHANGE THE FREQUENCY OF INDEPENDENT REVIEWS AND AsDITS OF SAFEGUARDS CONTINGENCY PLAN AND SECURITY PROGRAM This letter provides comments on Virginia Power Company's petition for rulemaking to thange the frequency with whir.h each licensee conducts independent reviews and audits of its safeguards contircency plan and security program from annually to biennially.

South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G) agrees that the frequency of independent reviews and audits should be more performance-based than schedule-driven.

SCE&G recommends that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission establish a common >

frequency rec uirement for all nuclear programs requiring an independent review and audit, to nclude safeguards contingency plan and security program. The frtc uency,secpe,and depth of all;ndependent reviews shc,uld be cased on program performance indicators and include a provision that all aspects of a program are audited within a 36 month interval.

SCE&G appreciates the opportunity to review and provide comment on this petition for rulemaking.

Very truly yours, John L. Skolds RAM /JLS/nkk c:- O. W. Dixon NSRC R. R. Mahan RTS (PR 940014)
