SUBJECT:

IE INVESTIGAT10y'joF STEPAN CHIMICAL l

COMPANY (COMPB-M-9) t i

I I agree wi th your recommenda tions, but would also include l

NMSS and OIA in the discussion.

In addition. I suggest tha t our discussion go beyond the S t epa n ca s e. to the following generic issues:

1.

Is a Commission Policy Statement desirable which provides oojectives and important considera tions to guide the conduct of investiga tions?

For example, this statement could address when criminal investigations should be ruled out by I&E and what is the relevance to health and safety of making a false statement to NRC.

f 2.

Are IE investigators adequately trained and IE investigative procedures adequate to conduct and document inves tiga tions to accomplish the Commission's objectives?
