Docket Nos.: 50-445 and 50-446 MEMORANDUM FOR: The Atomic Safety and licensing Board for Comanche Peak (P. B. Bloch, W. P. Jordan, K. A. McCollom, E. B. Johnson)

FROM: Vincent S. Noonan, Director Pro. ject Directorate No. 5 Division of PWR I.icensing-A

SUBJECT:

REPORT OF INVESTIGATION BY THE OFFICE OF INSPECTOR AND AUDITOR (BOARD NOTIFICATION NO. 86-24)

Attached for the information of the licensing Board is a copy of a report prepared by the NRC Office of Inspector and Auditor concerning Region IV management actions relative to Comanche Peak. This report was sent to the Commission by OIA on November 26, 1986. This report addresses, in part, certain matters regarding Region IV's inspection activities as they pertain to the Applicants' Ouality Assurance program and its implementation and, thus, portions of this report may be relevant and material to the admitted contention in this proceeding, Contention 5.

At this time, various offices of the Commission are reviewing the report and its attachments (consisting of some 3300 pages) to determine whether the findings of the report require the initiation of management, enforcement and/or investigatory actions. For this reason, certain deletions have been made, in the first instance, in the copy of the report provided herewith. The Commission has authorized the public release of the report in this form. Upon completion of the staff's review, we will inform the Board whether an unredacted version of the report and its attachments can be provided or whether such release will necessitate a reouest for the prior imposition of an appropriate protective order.
