r p 23 N MEMORANDUM FOR: DPWR-A Branch Chiefs 2

FROM:

Charles E. Rossi, Assistant Director Division of PWR Licensing - A

SUBJECT:

TOPICAL REPORT REVIEWS The Assistant Directors within each Licensing Division now have signature authority for topical report reviews. Thus, the procedures for managing a topical report within our division.have changed. This memo outlines the new procedure to be used and provides guidance.

Topical reports will initially be received by TOSB for processing. A TAC number will be assigned and the report will be forwarded to the appropriate division. For DPL-A, Ed Weinkam will then process and forward a Licensing Work Request Form to the appropriate Branch through the Assistant Director.

TOSB is currently developing a " form" letter for proprietary determination and to identify the staff reviewer responsible for the particular topical.

This letter will be forwarded to the topical report applicant, once a reviewer is assigned, under my signature. When this form letter is complete, it will be made available to you. Requests for additional information which evolve from the review will be forwarded to the topical report applicant under-the review branch chief's signature.

Upon completion of your review, each branch will prepare a safety evaluation report for the topical report along with a transmittal letter for my signature. Enclosure 1 is a " form" transmittal letter to be used for topicals. The SER should be written in a " formal" manner, i.e., use "the staff finds" as opposed to "we find." The title block should be of the following form:

Safety Evaluation of Topical Report (report number)

(Title)

In addition, following completion of the topical report review, each Branch Chief must notify the Planning and Resource Analysis Branch (PRAB) in order that review fees can be determined and assessed.- Enclosure 2 is an example of the forwarding memo to be utilized along with a filled out version of the form to be sent. This information should be prepared at the time that the topical
