' Justification for Commitment Changes During the development of the revised proceduralized process, we determined 10 CFR 76.68 considerations were more appropriately performed by the system engineers who review procedures and work instructions during the work planning process. The system engineers are trained on the 10 CFR 76.68 process. Additionally, the planners and section managers in the work control organization at PORTS have been trained on the 76.68 process.
Ifyou have any questions, please contact Charly Blackston at (614) 897-3120. There are no new commitments contained in this submittal.
