Dear Mr. Smith:

'.' n I have received jour letter dated April 10, 1987 requesting clarification of i- the 60-day reporting provisions of Generic Letter 87-02. In Generic Letter

r 87-02, the staff requested that each licensee subject to the USI A-46 equipment seismic adequacy verification requirements provide a schedule for implementation of the seismic verification within 60 days of receipt of the Generic Letter.

~'

In your letter you stated that licensees who belong to the Seismic ,

Qualification Utility Group (SQUG) will ne unable to provide a schedule for  !

implementation at this time because the generic implementation procedures are '

.still under development by the SQUG and will not be finalized until the

. completion of s.everal trial plant reviews.

', p The staff hatfreviewed your request and concluded that it is appropriate to extend the 60-day reporting provisions of Generic Letter 87-02 for SQUG licensees until the generic implementation procedures are better defined and the trial plant reviews are completed. It is my understanding that the 3

" SQUG generic implementation procedures should be essentially complete before r October 1,1987. By that date at least two trial plant reviews will have been

' completed and the generic implementation procedures sufficiently defined and  :

.f 1 reviewed by NRC staff so~that licensees can plan and schedule their plant g specific reviews. '

", All licensees participating in the US! A 46 SQUG implementation program should provide the schedule for plant specific implementation no later than December 1,1987. The NRC staff will review and evaluate the generic procedures by October 1, to allow each utility 60 days to prepare their replies to the generic letter. l t
