COMMENTS ON FREE STATE REPORTING, INC.'S RESPONSE TO NRC'S CURE NOTICE DATED 09/14/84 Pat Sullivan, Project Officer, requested that we coment specifically on Work Orders 115 and 122.
Work Order No.115, the August 8,1984, Shoreham Emergency Planning hearing transcript was returned by Pat Sullivan upon receipt as the pagination was incorrect and the cover page had an incorrect location for the site of the hearing.
Work Order No.122, the August 16, 1984, Shoreham Low Power hearing transcripts (both in-camera and open sessions) were rejected. The Board (Judges Miller, Bright and Johnson) as well as the parties stated that both transcripts had too many errors and the text was not comprehensible.
Both transcripts were returned to Mrs. Sullivan on August 31 with corrections noted on the open session transcript. The parties and the Board made some corrections to the in-camera transcript but in many instances it was impossible to reconstruct the testimony from the transcript submitted by FSRI. FSRI made an attempt to correct the in-camera transcript but it remains incomprehensible. The Board, therefore, does not have the necessary record of the in-camera portion of the proceeding. .

FSRI TIMELINESS At the August 6, 19C4 meeting held with FSRI and NRC rep-rosentativos, Pat Sullivan did not toll David Becker that NRC Cor.sidered PSRI tranr.criptn delivered af ter 8:15 a m.
but brzfore 9:00 a.m. to be time?y deliveries. FSRI should review their contract Article VII, paragraph A. " Late or Defective Delivery". There have been several occasions when Uct Sullivan wec nct available becauce of other assign. ents for receipt of transcripts. However, if the courfor was delayed on trar.ncripts recuiring an B:15 a.m. 6elivery time, on thosn occasions all receipts were acknowledged as being received at 8:15 a.m. Trenscripts that were expected for delivery at 8:15 a.m., but were left with the 10th floor quard's desk as lato as 1:00 p.m. were clearly in a late de)$very status and PSRI was compensated inaccordance with 7 Article VI, paragraph A. of y:nc centract. *

COndECTIVE MEASUPIS A letter dated August 13, 19E4 was sent to Tct Sullivan from FSR1 vith a Quality Centrol check List form as an att,3ch-ment. She was asked to review and add anything that she deemed necessarv. Comments were furnished on her behalf to PSRI by Penea Bailey, Proiect Of ficer. P.s. Lailey informed F5RI that disc 1c3mers are only to be incorporated in Commis-sion meetings only. She further requested that the floppy dich requirement be added to the Quality Control form. FSRI stated that the form would minimi=e the occurrence of errors in the assenbly of transcripts. But, on September 10,1?St.
Pat Sulliv an ' received NRC Wort. Order No. 1.'.B for the tran-script indicated that the meeting was held on September 9, 1984.
TIMELINESS (CONTI,NUED)
The importance of receiving meeting transcripts from the contractor at the time specified in the work order can not be overstated. Rarely is a transcript requested by NRC simply for placcmont in the files. Invariably, transcripts are ordered because they are uneful not only to those who attended the meeting, but also to those who may not have beon able to attend but must be guided by statements made and actione taken a t the mooting. They are also frequently required for uso by NRC in a follow-on meeting taking place on the d3y the transcript 1s eluo.
