NRC requirements. The violations, references to pertinent requirements, and

, elements to be included in your response are described in the enclosed Notice

your October 21, 1987, letter to the NRC Enforcement Action Letter EA 87-100,

dated September 4, 1987. Specifically, concerning your commitment to install

cipher pads at the entry turnstiles.
