2 But I think it was ultimately resolved in the 1

3 quality concern program.

4 Q. Doesn't the quality concern program require the 5 resolution to notification to go to the person involved in 6 quality concern?

7 A. Yes, that's the standard program. To see if the 8 concern, the person that expressed the concern, was satisfied.

9 Q. If that notice wasn't sent down, then the quality concerns department hadn't finished their investigation.

10 i

11 Is that what you're saying?

12 A. 'Either that or they've had an oversight in their 13 regular program. But that's the normal functioning of that  !

14 program. I would not know about that notice. ]

15 Q.. Did Mr. Mosbaugh tell you in April of 1990 that he 16 believed there were false statements made in the corrective l l

17 action letters sent to the NRC? j 18 A. I do not remember him directly telling me that. I l 19 was told, I believe, by Bill Shipman that Allen Mosbaugh had 20 expressed that concern. That's my recollection.

21 Q. What did you do after you learned about that 22 concern? -

23 A. Actually I think I was out of town of something at 24 the time that was raised and that Bill Shipman and George 25 Hairston responded to that including revising the LER and t

2 Q. I'm talking about the corrective action letter, not i 3 the LER. There's a corrective action letter and an LER. Do 4 you remember learning that there were false statements 5 contained in the corrective action letter? p 6 A. What I understand is that Allen brought this up to 7 Bill Shipman. That he felt that what was in the corrective ,

8 action letter was in error. And what was in the LER that was - -, }'

9 being submitted was also, he thought, in error. p /):

10 So as a result of that, they did a QA audit to 11 verify that the LER was correct and we made a statement as I 12 recall in th'e transmittal that said that we wanted to clarify 13 our position on the original letter because there was confusion i 14 about the terms used and that sort of thing. And so that was 15 attempted to be clarified by the LER. That's my recollection 16 of it. ,

17 Q. Was there ever an investigation as to how false i

18 information got into the corrective action letter or the LER?

t 19 A. Yes, the QA audit reviewed all of that and i 20 concluded that there were several factors that led to that. .

4 21 Q. Where are the QA audit results? Were they turned 22 over to the NRC?

23 A. Yes, and we have a QA audit report that they were t t

24 provided to the NRC team that investigated that allegation.  ;

25 Q. That's quality assurance audit?
