SUBJECT:

ENGINEERING SELF-ASSESSMENT

Dear Mr. Terry:

This is in response to your letter, dated November 13,1996, proposing to perform a self-assessment of engineering activities, programs, and controls at the Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station. The self-assessment would be performed in lieu of an NRC team inspection planned for your facility. The request included details involving the scope of the self assessment, the proposed team schedule, and the qualifications and experience of the team.

The NRC has reviewed your request in accordance with the guidelines contained in inspection Procedure 40501," Licensee Self-Assessments Related to Team inspections,"

and has accepted the proposed timing, scope of effort, and the credentials and experience of the assessment team. The option of permitting licensees to conduct a self-assessment in lieu of an NRC inspection is an NRC program aimed at minimizing regulatory impact and utilizing NRC resources more efficiently Consequently, the NRC plans to reduce the level of inspection effort planned for inspection Procedure 37550, " Engineering," at the Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station and perform an inspection of your self-assessment effort in accordance with inspection Procedure 40501.

Mr. Chris A. VanDenburgh (817/860-8161)is the primary point of contact for this inspection. Please provide him with any further information you develop concerning your assessment plans in order to facilitate our inspection under inspection Procedure 40501.

Sincerely, x
