r 3 August 17; 1999 Mr. K. P. Powers Plant General Manager Big Rock Point Nuclear Plant Consumers Energy Company 10269 US 31 North Charlevoix, MI

SUBJECT:

CLOSURE OF ONSITE NRC INSPECTION OFFICE AT BIG ROCK POINT

Dear Mr. Powers:

This is to advise you that we plan to stop using the office complex at the Big Rock Point plant which Consumers Energy Company had provided for the NRC's resident inspectors under 10 CFR 50.70(b)(1). Since Big Rock Point has been permanently shut down, our inspections have been conducted in accordance with NRC Manual Chapter MC-2561. This inspection program does not require resident inspectors or dedicated office space. Your cooperation in continuing to provide office space for the past 22 months, during which time we have retained a full-time inspector at the site, is appreciated.

We plan to remove NRC-owned equipment from the site on or about October 1,1999. To coordinate access and removal, we request that a Consumers contact person be identified.

When our equipment has been removed, we will retum the office keys to the contact person.

l Future inspections will likely involve visits to the site by one or a few inspectors from the Region ll1 office. An inspection plan for FY 2000 will be sent to you in a future letter. It would be convenient for visiting inspectors to have some modest, private space where they can conduct interviews, review records and temporarily store personal effects.

l Please contact Bruce Jorgensen of my staff at (630) 829-9615 to discuss coordination needs l

for our vacating the current offices suite, and options to support future inspection activities.

i Sincerely, l

l
