Subject:

Comment on Proposed Rulemaking to 10 CFR 50.65, Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance At Nuclear Power Plants (63 FR52201 dated September 30,1998)

Ladies and Gentlemen; The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is soliciting public comments to the proposed rulemaking to 10CFR50.65, Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants (63FR52201 dated September 30,1998). The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) has provided final industry comments on the proposed rulemaking by letter dated December 14, 1998. The NEI letter requests that the proposed rule be withdrawn and re-noticed to reflect additional changes necessary to make the scope of the maintenance rule risk-informed, and to clarify issues with respect to the proposed terminology in the rule. Toledo Edison endorses the final industry comments submitted by NEI.

At the request of NEI to support the industry request regarding reduction in the overall scope of the rule, the following Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station specific information is provided:

184 Systems are within the scope of the current rule of 299 systems total.'

83 Systems of the 184 are safety related.

15 Systems of the 184 are risk significant, as determined by the expert panel.

72 Systems of the 83 safety related systems are risk significant.
