Reoort of Interview j

j Arthur B. BEACH, Deputy Director, Enforcement Staff, IE, was interviewed con-l Cerning at what point the NRC should no longer accept input from a licensee j utility concerning proposed violations developed during NRC inspections.

BEACH stated that generally it is the NRC's policy that the exit briefing is the utility's opportunity to dispute inspection findings. The exit briefing concludes the inspection period, and the subsequent inspection report documents activity conducted during the inspection period. Information 1 provided by the utility subsequent to the exit briefing could be used by the ,

utility i.n_.ittilesponse.to a. . Notice of Vinlation if issued by the NRC. BEACH l t'T ~nbTed that the utility has 20' days to reply to a Notice of Violation.

Additionally, the information developed by the utility would be considered by the NRC during the following inspection period. BEACH commented that an ,

exception to this policy would bm n instance where the utility's information showed the NRC inspector made an obvious mistake in fact. However, the additional information must have existed during the period of inspection to be considered during the preparation of an inspection report. BEACH related that he is not aware of any written instructions which specifically address the i question of when input should no longer be considered; however, guidance

,t published in various IE manual chapters concerning the conduct of inspections and the documentation of violations makes this unstated policy clear.
