Revised    Submittal of Quality Assurance                      Program      for Station Operation Rochester Gas 6 Electric Corporation R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Docket No. 50-244
 
==Dear Mr. Johnson,==
 
In accordance with 10CFR50.54(a)(3), enclosed is revision 22 to the Quality Assurance Program for Station Operation (QAPSO). Revision 22 incorporates organization related changes associated with the restructuring of the corporation.                            Our effectiveness            review concluded that these changes do not impact                                commitments    in the quality assurance program description previously approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and therefore do not require prior NRC approval.
The changes are described in the attached Synopsis of Changes (Attachment 1) and in the enclosed program revision. Attachment 1 also provides the basis for concluding that the revised program continues to satisfy the 10CFR50, Appendix B criteria and does not reduce the scope of the quality assurance program. Changes made to revision 21 of the Quality Assurance Program for Station Operation are denoted by a single revision bar in the left margin.
Attachment 2 is a copy of the QAPSO with changes denoted by highlighting or strike-out.
These        QA  Program changes      are considered effective immediately.

Revised Submittal of Quality Assurance Program for Station Operation Rochester Gas 6 Electric Corporation R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Docket No. 50-244

Dear Mr. Johnson,

In accordance with 10CFR50.54(a)(3), enclosed is revision 22 to the Quality Assurance Program for Station Operation (QAPSO). Revision 22 incorporates organization related changes associated with the restructuring of the corporation. Our effectiveness review concluded that these changes do not impact commitments in the quality assurance program description previously approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and therefore do not require prior NRC approval.

The changes are described in the attached Synopsis of Changes (Attachment 1) and in the enclosed program revision. Attachment 1 also provides the basis for concluding that the revised program continues to satisfy the 10CFR50, Appendix B criteria and does not reduce the scope of the quality assurance program. Changes made to revision 21 of the Quality Assurance Program for Station Operation are denoted by a single revision bar in the left margin.

Attachment 2 is a copy of the QAPSO with changes denoted by highlighting or strike-out.

These QA Program changes are considered effective immediately.
