MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT - HARRIS NUCLEAR PLANT AND SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT - DOCKETS 50-400,50-327 AND 50-328

Dear Sirs:

This letter confirms our intent to meet with your staffs on October 25,1999, at 1:00 p.m., in the I Region ll Office, Atlanta, Georgia. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss with the Region ll pilot plants, Shearon Harris and Sequoyah, any observations, feedback, lessons learned and l recommendations relative to impl6 mentation of the pilot program for the NRC's new Regulatory l

' Oversight Process. Ocr intent is to focus the discussion on the new process application rather than individual inspection findings. A proposed meeting agenda is enclosed l

, Pilot implementation of the revised Regulatory Oversight Process is being conducted at nine L reactor sites across all four regions. The revised Regulatory Oversight Process uses two primaiy information sources to assess licensee performance: performance indicators and inspection findings. Performance indicators are submitted to the NRC by licensees en a monthly basis during the pilot. Inspection f'adings are a result of NRC inspections and are documented in the plant issues matrix and inspection reports. The pilot program began in June 1999 and is scheduled to run through December 1999. The pilot program is intended to test how effectively the revised oversight process works and to ider.tify possible problems.. After incorpoiding lessons learned from the pilot, the NRC plans to implemeni the revised Regulatory Oversight Process for all plants in April 2000.
