SUBJECT: COMANCHE PEAK REPORT 86-08/86-06

1

This confirms our telephone conversation of today, which I initiated following

early discussions with Jim Taylor concerning issuance of the sub,iect report.

The following summarizes the items discussed.

I

1. The version of the inspection report which IE concurred in (signed by  !

Spessard) for issuance by Re ion IV (but which Mr. H. S. Phillips i

does not choose to concur in is not to be issued to the licensee at l

this time, even though the report was processed consistent with  !

Reoion IV procedures.

2. Mr. Phillips has been requested by IE (telephone call by Spessard on

this date) to revise the report (presented for Signature) to address  !

the " Issues in Dispute" (Phillips to Barnes memorandum of j

January 6,1987) in a manner that would allow him to concur. The i

revisiens are to be limited to those specific issues and are to be I

'

consistent with IE Policy concerning inspection report writing and

enforcerrent matters. Based on these discussions, Mr. Phillips I

believes this could be accomplished within a few days after receiving I

instructions from the Region IV Administrator, sir.ce he is working

directly for him at the present time. I also told Mr. Phillips that

IE (Gower or Spessard, if necessary) would work with him via

telephone to answer any questions, etc., while he was working on the

revised report.

Also during these discussions, Mr. Phillips indicated that there may

be other parts of the inspection report which (in hindsight) he might

lite to revise esen though he was at one time willine to concur. I

told Mr. Phillips that my primary interest was the issuance of the

inspection report so that the utility could act on the findings.

!

' Therefore, I wanted to minimize the re-review process by restricting

its scope to cover only the " Issues in Dispute." However, I offered

that Mr. Phillips could (if he desired) provide a second revision

which would cover the " Issues in Ddspute" and revisions to the

initial report that are not in dispute. IE will consider this

revision, in the re-review process, but our primary goal is to focus

l on the " Issues in Dispute."

3. IE (Gower and Spessard) will review the revised report and discuss

the changes with Mr. Phillips and Region IV management in an effort

to resolve the issue, i.e., an Inspection Report which can be

concurred in by all parties. ,

l

4. Jim Taylor will make the final decision regarding the issuance of the

inspection report, should the measures discussed above not resolve  !

the issues. Also, should this be necessary, Jim intends to personally

review the initial report including the revisions previously )

i discussed.

I

I believe this accurately describes my discussions with you and Mr. Phillips. {

However, if you have any questions er comments, please let me know. Jim Taylor

i will be on foreign travel begining the last week in March 1987, therefore, I  ;

l would like to get this issue resolved before his trip.
