January 28, 1981 MEMORANDUM FOR: Sharon R. Connelly, Director Office of Inspector and Auditor FROM:
Mark E. Resner, Assistant d,
to the Director
' ~ ~ ~ "
SUBJECT:
INQ 86-54 A review of the information contained in the subject file, specifically, the July 15, 1986, memorandum with attachment to you from Robert D. Martin, Regional Administrator, Region IV, was made. Based on my review of that information, it appears as though the references therein to the performance of certain NRC personnel are founded in opinion rather than specifics supported by facts. The opinions expressed primarily focus on the quality of employee performance and are oriented to resolution by management action as opposed to an issue of wrongdoing within OTA's norviFw.
~~~
As part of my review of this case file, contact was made with Martin on January 27, 1987. In response to questions posed to Martin, he advised that because of the large volume of documents from the law suit (Houston Lighting and Power (HL&P) vs. Brown and Root) to be reviewed, Region IV human resource expenditure necessitated that the region enlist sources external to the NRC to perform the review. In that regard, Martin believes a verbal request was made to HL&P and a written commitment from them was received in response. Addi-tionally, HL&P employed an independent law firm and technical consultant to conduct the review. According to Martin, Region IV monitored the review by conducting "several" inspections which involved random sampling of HL&P's review. In order to complete our case file, Martin is forwarding copies of these inspection. reports and a copy of the written commitment from bl&P to undertake the review.
In consideration of the foregoing information, and panding_QlA's_ satisfactory review of the information Martin is forwarding I recommend closing this case.
If you concur with this recommendation, I believe a follow-up telephone call to Martin should be made so that he may proceed with any management action, if any.
