Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Revision to Ouality Assurance Program l

Gentlemen:

By letter dated June 12,1996, Georgia Power Company (GPC) submitted to the NRC a proposal for revision to the Plant Hatch Quality Assurance (QA) Program which l

incorporated the use of a Qualified Reviewer (QR) to perform certain functions previously -

6 performed by the Plant Review Board (PRB). Specifically, the requested change would allow the QR to review and disposition screening evaluations for 10 CFR 50.59 l

applicability for which a subsequent 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation was not required. Such a review and disposition by the QR would be done in lieu of the previous practice of PRB review of such documents.

In response to GPC's submittal, the NRC, by letter dated August 5,1996, provided several comments to the proposal and indicated that GPC must submit a revised QA Program change submittal addressing said comments prior to further NRC review. The

~

GPC response to the staffs comments are provided in Enclosure 1. As requested, a justification for the proposed change and a revised QA Program change submittal are included in Enclosures 2 and 3, respectively.

Should you have any questions in this regard, please contact this oflice.

Sincerely, th>
