This letter provides an update on the direction and status of Calvert Cliffh' Procedures Upgrade Project. We remain on schedule as documented in Reference (c). A detailed status is provided in Attachment (1).
In the area of technical procedures, we have completed approximately 80% of the procedures scheduled for upgrade under the project. The remaining technical procedures are scheduled for completion by December 1994.
As stated ic Reference (c), Priority I status is given to technical procedures which are most important to the safe operation of the plant. The Priority 1 procedur:s are Emergency Operating Procedt..es, Abnormal Operating Procedures, and Surveillance Test Procedures. All Priority 1 procedures were upgraded by the original'y projected completion date of December 1992. Training on most Priority 1 procedure upgrades was completed in 1992. Training on the remainder will bc completed in 1993.

l In the area of administrative procedures, changes to our Quality Assurance Program and Technical Specifications needed to support impicmentation of the new Procedures Program were approved by
+
NRC and implemented by BG&E in September 1991. Since then, five additional programs have been implemented. Our projected completion of the entire administrative procedures upgrade is December 1995.
Finally, in December 1992, BG&E fully complied with the requirement for biennial reviews for technical and administrative procedures. At that time, we discontinued the option to use the l
temporary one-time change to the periodic review interval, which was requested by Reference (a) and granted by Referenc- (b).
j In summary, we are making substantial progress in our procedure improvement efforts. Our Procedures Upgrade Project provides focus on the importance of producing quality procedures for i
safe operation. Our Procedures Program provides long-term emphasis on the importance of procedure ownership and expectations for maintaining quality procedures. Through self-assessment, we are continuing to look for ways to improve our short-term project results, as well as our long. term procedures management activities.
1 Should you have any further questions regarding this matter, we will be pleased to discuss them with -
you.
