' Docket No. 99900516/85-01 NUS Corporation ATTN: Mr. Donald L. Couchman
.Vice President & Secretary Administrative Services 910 Clopper Road Gaithersburg, Maryland 20878 Gentlemen:
Thank you for your letter of February 24, 1986 in response to our letter dated February 7, 1986. As a result of our review, we find that additional infor-mation'is needed. Specifically, your response to Nonconformance B failed to address the central issue of the nonconformance.
The issue is your failure to prepare semiannual reports on the effectiveness of QA program implementation within each NUS Operating Unit, as required by your Corporate QA Policy Manual.
This report has not been prepared semiannually since at least 1981.
Your Corporate QA Policy Manual satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B for written policies, procedures and instructions governing the groups specified by you as participants in the QA program. Among the respon-
-sibilities assigned to your Corporate Director of Quality Assurance are annual audits of each NUS operating unit and preparation of a semiannual report on the status and effectiveness of operating unit quality assurance programs.
This audit program satisfies the intent-and purpose of Criterion XVIII to Appendix B, Audits, yet the required audit status report has not been prepared semiannually since at least 1981.
The reply to Nonconformance A is considered acceptable and we will review the implementation of your corrective action during a future inspection.
Please provide corrective and preventive actions, and their effective dates, to Nonconformance B within 25 days of this letter. Since this request affects fewer thari ten respondents, an OMB clearance is not required in accordance with PL 96-511.
Sincerely, Winst strM Gary G 388 Gary G. Zech, Chief Vendor Program Branch Division of Quality Assurance, Vendor and Technical Training Center Programs Office of Inspection and Enforcement N)ISTRIBUTION:
