SUBJECT:
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:
IE ASSESSMENT OF QA PROGRAM DESCRIPTION CHANGES By memorandum dated May 15, 1985, from B. Grimes to J. Martin, IE informed Region V of the results of the March 28 assessment of Region V's review of licensee's QAPD changes. The conclusion was that Region V was performing an effective and timely review of QAPD changes consistent with the 10 CFR 50.54 change rule and draft IE Inspection Procedure 35001. Three minor issues were raised in the report, none of which require a response to IE.
One of these was characterized as a generic concern to be further evaluated and commented on in a summary report for all five regions. The three minor issues and our co rrective actions are:
- 1. Finding:
Region V is considering an accounting method that would satisfy the LFMB memorandum (February 7, 1985) concerning the review of QAPD changes.
Corrective Action: The corrective action (pertaining to the tracking of time expended in reviewing each QAPD change) had been taken prior to the assessment.
It involves receiving a TAC number from DRMA for each QAPD change review, and entering the QAPD change action in the Operating Plan for tracking and accountability. The TAC number is used to record and account for all time expended on the reviews and is the source of information retrieved and reported to the LFMB for fee billing purposes.
- 2. Finding: Region V is in the process of developing a procedure describing the review process to provide additional assurance that reviews are consistent with respect to the required depth of review and the degree and method of documenting the results.
(IE vants to review the procedure for consistency among Regions and to help in developing a final version of IP 35001).
Corrective Action: A copy of the Region III procedure has been received.
It will be used ac, a model in developing our procedure.
This action will be completed by July 17 and a copy will be sent
'" v to IE for their review.

- 3. Finding: Some licensees submit QAPD changes in the annual FSAR updates rather than separately reporting QAPD changes to the appro-priate Regional office. The Regional office should update their QA program review files by incorporating these QAPD changes.
Corrective Action: Through an undocumented procedure we have been receiving the annual FSAR updates and incorporating the changes in the QA program review files. The process will be formalized in our new procedure to ensure that annual FSAR updates received by the l
PA0 secretary are forwarded to the QAPD reviewer and properly included in the QA program files.
