findings to other reported deficiencies observed in the past and that have
resulted in a previous Notice of Violation (84-32/11).
It is clear from this
evaluation, which refers to both reviews and audits conducted many years ago
along with recent findings, including those currently being addressed, that
your actions over time to correct and improve your overall audit function have
not been fully successful.
In this regard we request that you consider the
points raised in the evaluation, and the possible need to take further
corrective actions in connection with your continuing management reviews of
this area. Additionally, it was our understanding that these matters would be
explicitly addressed in the implementation of the Comanche Peak Response Team
Program Plan, Issue-Specific Action Plans (ISAPs) VII.a.4 and' VII.a.5, as
reflected in your response to the earlier Notice of. Violation (TXX-4453). The
absence of clear identification and disposition of pertinent external source
issues in the results reports for ISAPS VII.a.4 and VII.a.5 will be addressed
in separate correspondence.
We have also examined actions you have taken with regard to previously
identified inspection findings. The status of these items is identified in
paragraph 3 of the enclosed report.
The responses directed by this letter and the accompanying Notices are not
subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
,
t
should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to
discuss them with you.
Sincerely,
. Original Signed by:
