SUBJECT:

DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLANT, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 - REVIEW OF QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM CHANGES (EPID L-2022-LLQ-0000)

Dear Mr. Gebbie:

By letter dated February 1, 2022 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML22032A315), Indiana Michigan Power Company (I&M, the licensee) requested U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval of changes to its Quality Assurance Program Description in accordance with paragraph 50.54(a)(4) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR). The proposed changes are applicable to the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2.

Specifically, I&M requested NRC approval to increase the period between internal audits for certain topics (listed on Enclosure 1 and 2 of the letter) from 24 months to 36 months. I&M has determined that the changes in these audit frequencies are a reduction in commitments requiring prior NRC approval to implement pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54(a). The NRC staff has determined that a review of these changes will take longer than 60 days. Therefore, I&M shall refrain from implementing these changes until the staffs review is completed. The staff expects to complete this review by January 31, 2023.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-2855.

Sincerely,

/RA BPurnell for/
