Inskeeping with_our commitment to provide the Commission and its
' Staff-with. timely'.information concerning Shoreham Nuclear Power
' Station (SNPS)' activities, the Long Island Lighting. Company (LILCO). wishes' to advise the Commission of recent; changes we have made to'our Quality Assurance (QA) ' organization'.
LILCO~has l
implemented these changes:in order to more effectively utilize our. resource's.for activities a'ssociated with SNPS in its
- non-operating,~defueled condition.
LILCO has determined that these changesuare-. administrative in nature and do not involve a change'in the technical specifications incorporated in SNPS operating' license...(NPF-82). or constitute an unreviewed safety /./r a J 1.

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.54 (a), these changes will be included in the next annual update of the SNPS Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) scheduled to be submitted on or before December 7, t
1990..
T These_ changes are as-follows:
The Nuclear-Quality Assurance-Department (NOAD) has been integrated.with the LILCO Corporate Quality. Assurance Organization as shown-on the attached' organization chart.
The
. Manager, NOAD will, report to the-Manager of Corporate Quality
-Assurance.for policy matters, personnel administration, t
v coordination'of resources and budgetary control.
However, the
-direct operational control and day to day reporting remains,
~
as in the past,'to the Vice President - Office of CorporatG.
?
Services and Vice President - Office of Nuclear (see RefOrence 4).- TheJManager NOAD continues to have aidirect line of i
! communication to - the President of - the Company for raatters i;
concerning' nuclear ~ safety.-
i LThe Manager,~NQAD will remain as Chairman of the-Nuclear i
l
' Review:BoardLwhich will continue to function.
The NQAD~will' continue to be located at the SNPS' site and hasofull responsibility 1for1 Nuclear QA functions.
'The SafetyJ Engineering' andEReliability (SER) Division, since L
-it'isinotlonger required-at the1 Division level, has been L*
removed ~from:the organizational' structure. -As appropriate' i
Ethis Division's responsibilities have been reassigned ~or determined.toibe1no, longer pertinenti_.This' division's y<

This..section previously performed-
' reliability studies of plant systems andLcomponentssand was a non-regulatory' required group which hadEthe.objectivesaof increasing 1 plant operational reliability, availability and
' maintainability-.-:Under Shoreham's existing non-operational I

SNNC-1771; Page 3:
Based on.the contractual agreement between LILCO and the State of Now York that SNPS.will.not be operated and will be transferred to-the Long; Island Power Authority-(LIPA) for decommissioning,
-the fact that_all fuel has been removed from the reactor and.is presently stored in the Spent Fuel Storage Pool, and based on the_
-i Commission's Confirmatory Order Modifying License (NPF-82) issued March 29, 1990- prohibiting LILCO from placing any nuclear fuel into the Shoreham reactor vessel without prior Commission 1
approval, LILCO concludes that those organizational changes do not decrease the'NQAD effectiveness.
-The Manager, NQAD will continue 1to report on' day to day activities to the Vice President,. Office of Corporate Services and Office of Nuclear.
'He.willLalso continue to have direct _ communication to the President of the Company for nuclear safety matters.
Additionally,.thesefchanges logically follow from the information provided-to the Commission's Staff by LILCO Management during1the 1 July'28', 1989 public-meeting in Rockville, Maryland -(see s
transcript _at'pages_70-71).
