On September 17, 1982, I was requested to contact Ms. Billie Garde to answer some general questions about the Midland project. To the best of my recall, the following was discussed
- l i
(1) She asked about the status of the six GAP affidavits.

I informed her that the investigation was progressing and that Midland had priority after LaSalle. I also told her that CPCo had a copy of the Zack affidavit. She said they did not get it from GAP.
1 She stated that she was very concerned that we have not pursued the issue as to whether CPCo should have reported the Zack problem under I exP ained that this issue would be addressed in l
our investigation and inspection effort.

I informed hsr that a request for an investigation into the potential violation of the board order had been forwarded to 01 in HQ. I told her I did not know if an invostigation had coassenced.
(b) Discussed the development of the Work Authorization' Procedure I stated that RIII had determined that a formal c.onsnunications mechanism was needed to ensure that all work authorizations would be in writing.
(c) Pipe Support and Restraint Problems I discussed Isa Yin's inspection report and CPCo's subsequent inspection findings in this area. I stated that we have informed CPCo that we want a 100% reinspection of all supports and restraints installed prior to 1981.
(d) Misrouted Electrical Cables I stated that we had informed CPCo that a reinspection of all SR cable was mandatory.
(e) Midland Section I identified the Midland Section personnel and stated that the remedial soils work interface was the highest priority we had.
I also stated that we were waiting for CPCo's comunitments for j
improving their program and that you would not allow any asjor soils work to proceed until the Midland Section was satisfied that the program was acceptable.
i (4) After discussing item 3(a) above, Ms. Carde stated she was disappointed that GAP input was not solicited during the formation of the Midland Section. I stated that,this was a management decision and could not consr.ent further. However, I stated that she was welcome to contact me at anytime in order to ensure good conununi-cations. Ms. Garde stated she would like to meet with the Midland Section and would get back to me regarding when. I encouraged her to do so.
She stated that open consuunications were very impor-tant in that when she made a press release she would be able to' discuss what the NRC was doing.
