! (WCNOC) ET 97-0044 response to Notice of Violation 50-482/9704-01 (Reference i 2). Violation 9704-01 concerned the failure of a Shift Supervisor to  ;

This will ensure that knowledgeable organizations are given the opportunity to provide input into the evaluation process for significant issues."

The completion date has been revised from May 10, 1997, to July 10, 1997, to allow a thorough review and revision of the Performance Improvement Request process.
