Subjec'ti .' Catawba Nuclear. Station, Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-413.and 50-414.

-Payment.of Civil Monetary Penalty.

i By letter dated August 31, 1989, the NRC issued an order imposing a civil- .;

monetary penalty,of $75,000.00 for inoperability of one train of the Containment:  !

Air Return and Hydrogen Skimmer System for Catawba Nuclear Station, Unit 2. l DI'am concerned about the limited review given my response to this violation dated  ;

June 16, 1989.and that we were not given the opportunity to further discuss.our j

-reason for mitigation as we had requested.

Since further appeal'would require expenditure of additional funds and other  !

resources with no assurance the penalty would be reduced or eliminated, I have j decided not to appeal this decision.

Enclosed-is a check in the amount of $75,000.00.

Very truly yours,  ;]
