Gentlemen:

This responds to your letter, P-86387, dated May 27, 1986. This letter

concerned a change to a commitment you had made in response to NRC Inspection

Report 84-15. This letter had inadvertently been addressed to NRR (ATTN:

H. N. Berkow) instead of Region IV.

We understand that you wish to change your comitment made in response to NRC

Inspection Report 84-15 so that instead of requiring the annual NFSC audit of

Technical Specification compliance to include shift turnover, you will monitor

this activity at least semi-annually under QA monitoring. We find this change

in commitment to be acceptable. We also believe that the NFSC audits of

Technical Specification compliance should not be constrained from looking at

this area but that this should not be an audit requirement.

If you have any questions regarding this issue, please contact us.

Sincerely,

h

SHIFi TURNQVER PROCEDURE AUDITS

Dear Mr. Berkow,

In

letter

P-84291,

PSC re:ponded to a Notice of Deviation

(50-267/8415-06) regarding the frequency of independent check of

shift turnover procedures.

PSC committed to include shift turnover

evaluation

in

NFSC

Audit

A-84-01

(Technical

Specification

Compliance), which was conducted in August, 1984, and to evaluate the

effectiveness of shift turnover procedures in future annual NFSC

audits of Technical Specification Compliance.

Shift turnover activities have been evaluated in NFSC Audits A-84-01

and A-85-01, conducted in August of 1984 and 1985, respectively.

In

addition,

shift turnover is being reviewed by the QA Division on at

least a semi-annual basis via QA Monitoring Activities.

No findings

or deviations have been revealed as a result of these evaluations.

Based upon this experience, PSC feels that the resources of the NFSC

auditors can now be devoted to other matters during the annual

NFSC

audits of Technical

Specification Compliance. Accordingly, PSC is

withdrawing its commitment to evaluate shift turnover annually in the

'PGO6cRoqqe
