O August 5, 1994 Docket No. 50-341 The Detroit Edison Company ATTN: Mr. D. R. Gipson Senior Vice President 1
Nuclear Generation 6400 North Dixie Highway Newport, MI 48166
Dear Mr. Gipson:
Thank you for your 10 CFR 50.54(a) submittal dated June 9,1994, which i
incorporates changes in your Quality Assurance Program Descripti_on (QAPD) regarding the way corrective action documents are reviewed.
We have reviewed l
the reduction in commiti ent associated with this submittal and we conclude that the revision continues to meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, J
Appendix B, and is acceptable.
During our review it came to our attention l
l that you had submitted Revision 6 to your QAPD on May 7, 1993.
Our review of Revision 6 identified several reductions in commitment.
These reductions l
were: (1) removal of the QA organization from in-line review of operations and 1
procurement documents, (2) allowing QA reviews of procedures to ensure correct l
inclusion of QA requirements months after their implementation, and (3) deletion of plant performance as a responsibility of plant engineering when I
scoping a modification. We have reviewed these reductions and have concluded that they also continue to meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix 1
B, and are acceptable. However, we note that your Revision 6 submittal did not identify these reductions in commitment or the reasoning behind them, and that you failed to obtain NRC approval prior to their implementation.
Adherence to the 10 CFR Part 50 regulations concerning submittal of program changes and reductions in commitments is essential to assure proper NRC l
review.
Failure to follow these requirements may result in future enforcement action.
If there are changes to QA commitments existing in docketed correspondence outside of the Quality Assurance Program description, you are obligated to notify this office.
l We appreciate your submittals of information required by 10 CFR 50.54(a).
i Please contact Mr. B. Burgess of my staff at (708) 829-9705 with any questions l
you may have regarding this matter.
l Sincerely, Mark A. Ring, Chief Operations Branch See Attached Distribution:
