Dear Mr. Stepien:

This letter documents a meeting on July 15,1999, between NRC Region IV managers and officials of the MidAmerican Energy Company. During that meeting, the MidAmerican Energy President and the Vice President of Generation briefly summarized their career experiences, as did the NRC managers. The NRC Region IV Regional Administrator, the Director of the l

Division of Reactor Projects, and the Chief, Project Branch C briefly explained the Risk Informed Baseline inspection Program recently implemented at Cooper Nuclear Station and l

Fort Calhoun Station.

l The exchange of information during the meeting was candid and informative. Your discussion allowed us to gain a better knowledge of the background of MidAmerican Energy's management and should prove beneficial in facilitating improved communications in the future.

In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.

Should you have any questions concerning this matter, we will be pleased to discuss them with you.
