NOTICE OF VIOLATION Panalarm Division, AMETEK, Inc. Docket No.: 99901303 Skokie, Illinois 1 During an NRC inspection conducted on September 9 through I?., 1996, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General i Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, i the violation is listed below:

10 CFR 21.21, " Notification of failure to comply or existence of a defect and its evaluation," requires, in part, that each corporation subject to the regulations adopt appropriate procedures to ensure the evaluation and proper reporting of deviations and failures to comply.

Contrary to the above, Quality Control Procedure QC-90-100, "(10CFR21)

Notification Procedure," Revision 0, dated March 6, 1990, failed to address the identification or evaluation of deviations. The procedure incorrectly  :

confused the terms " deviation" and " defect", with the result that personnel l were not alerted to the need to identify deviations from safety-related purchase order requirements, and to evaluate the deviations to determine if they could become defects. Procedure QC-90-100 also failed to reflect significant changes that were incorporated into 10 CFR Part 21 since 1990 I concerning reporting requirements and the content of procedures. )

(99901303/96-01-01) j This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement VII).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Panalarm Division of AMETEK, Inc.,

is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S.
