2101 Horn Rapids Road P. O. Box 130 Richland, WA 99352 Attention:

C. W. Malady, Manager Corporate' Licensing

Subject:

. Response to Notice of Violation Gentlemen:

This will acknowledge your letter dated March 26, 1986 in response'to our Notice ~of Violation dated March 5, 1986. Your responses to violations A and C:

~

are acceptable. However, your answer to violation B still gives us some concern for the safety of the valve associated with the UF cylinder.

6 Currently, only the Department of Transportation (DOT) has regulations requiring the use of protective valve covers during transport of UF cylinders 6

(173.412(j )). Many industries use protective valve covers whenever the potential for valve damage may be present.

It is recommended that during your rewrite of Procedure No. P66,336,

" Preparing and Removing UF Cylinders - Line 1",

that an appropriate safety 6

evaluation be made which -gtves due consideration to the protection of the l

valve-from physical damage during the handling of the UF cy in ers.

J 6

In order to resolve violation B of our Notice.of Violation, we would

-l appreciate a copy of your modified procedure which deals with the use of valve covers within thirty (30) days.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, we will be glad to discuss them with you.

Sincerely, O ' Otg0 (kb}ief James
