L .

l Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54(a)(3) and 10 CFR 50.4(b)(7), the Commonwealth Edison Company (Comed) submitted actual and proposed changes to its Quality Assurance Topical Report (QATR) CE-1-A, Revision 66, by letter dated April 23,1998, as modified by letters dated August 21,1998 and October 27,1998. Revision 66 to the QATR was initiated to make l ~changes in the independent and onsite review organization by creating the Nuclear Safety

Review Board (NSRB). The NSRB will provide the oversight function previously performed by the Offsite Review and investigative Function. Comed does not consider these changes as a l reduction in commitment. However, Comed does consider the periodic effectiveness review L process and the 5-year audit frequency of NSRB activities as a reduction in commitment. The l NRC has only reviewed the proposed reduction in commitment and determined that the j_ proposed QATR, Revision 66, continues to comply with the criteria of Appendix B to 10 CFR l ' Part 50. The enclosed safety evaluation provides our assessment of the requested changes.
