Dear Mr. Colomb:
i I
in a telephone conversation on July 25,1997, between Mr. T. Herrmann and
.l Mr. Paul Bissett, arrangements were made for the NRC to conduct a baseline inspection of i
your maintenance rule program at FitzPatrick. The inspection is planned for the week of September 28,1997.
The inspection objective is to evaluate your performance to support compliance with the l
requirements of 10 CFR 50.65, " Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants." The inspection will be conducted using Inspection l
Procedure 62706, " Maintenance Rule" and will involve a team of at least four inspectors.
The team will require information about your program for their in-office preparation for the inspection. This information is identified in the enclosure to this letter. Please provide this i
information to Mr. Bissett by the week of September 7,1997. Mr. Herrmann has been i
advised of this request.
I i
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions regarding this inspection, please contact me at (610) 337-5211 or e-mail address GWM@NRC. GOV.
