The first centence in Section 2.4.3.1, item 2 has a proposed change that adds the words "or alternatives as described in Section 2.7.3.2" at the end of the sentence that l
addresses NOA-1-1989. Basic Requirement 4 of NOA 1-1989 requires: "To the extent necessary, procurement documents shall require Suppliers to have a quality assurance program consistent with the applicable requirements of this Standard." Section 2.7.3.2, Items 3 through'6 provide acceptable alternatives. However, it is not clear that the reference to Section 2.7.3.2 in Section 2.4.3.1, item 2 does not include Section 2.7.3.2, Items 1 and 2 that are not acceptable alternati'.as. Clarify.

The proposed changes to Section 2.18.3.2, Item 3.b of the QA Program and Section i
2.18.3.2, Item 4.b of the Appendix of the QA Program, which delete the term "onsite,"is acceptable. However, it is not clear how "USEC supervision" will be provided for services performed both on-site and off-site. Clarify.

Section 2.7.3.2, items 1 and 2 have changed " potential supplier's" to " supplier's."
Section 2.7.3.2, item 3 has the same change in the second I,'ae but n_ot in the first line.
For consistency, consider making the change in the first line.
