\ . . . . . 8,o , January 23, 1997 OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY Mr. Regis A. Matzie Vice President Nuclear Systems Engineering ABB Combustion Engineering Nuclear Systems 2000 Day Hill Road P.O. Box 500 Windsor, Connecticut 06095-0500

Dear Mr. Matzie:

I am responding to your December 18, 1996 letter requesting an opportunity to review the design certification rule for the ABB Combustion Engineering (ABB/CE) System 80+ before it is sent to the Office of the Federal Register i (0FR) for publication. Your letter states that the purpose of this review l would be narrowly limited to focus solely on ensuring that the language of the rule accurately and clearly conforms with the Commission's policy determinations as set forth in the Commission's Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) of December 4, 1996, and would not be for the purpose of commenting on the policy determinations that have been made by the Commission.

The Commission has decided that a limited opportunity for ABB/CE to review the ,

final ABWR design certification rule solely for the purpose of ensurir.g that the rule conforms with the Commission's SRM is not necessary. In light of the extensive public process leading to the specification of the issues decided by the Commission's SRM, the specificity of the Senior Review Group's August 13, 1996 Memo to the Commission which addressed these issues, and the detailed direction provided in the Commission's SRM, a further limited review opportunity for ABB/CE would not provide any substantial enhancement to the quality of the final design certification rule.

Sincerely, e

kk ohn C. Hoyle Secretary of the Commission
