(303) 756-9656 AND TECHNICAL ANALYSES Mr. Donald H. Grimsley, Director p or mF0 m Division of Rules and Records y gqum  !

Office of the Executive Director for Operations S fA.g7_(,jg l U S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (dog g  ;

Washington, D. C. 20555

Dear Mr. Grimsley:

l Please consider this a Freedom of Information Act re-quest for information. I am interested in several aspects of the policies, programs, and procedures by which teams operate under the Executive Director for Operations. The teams to which I have reference are exemplified by the Performance Appraisal Teams, Inci-dent Investigation Teams, Diagnostic Evaluation Teams, Augmented Inspection Teams, and Integrated Design Inspection Teams. All teams that are expected to come into direct contact with a licensee's staff, either at its corporate offices or its plant site locations, and to file a formal report of findings, are included in this request.

I am attempting to clarify, for myself and clients, '

l the objectives and operating instructions for these teams. If each type of team operates under a charter, similar to those required by the Commiscion in the past for the licensees' Onsite and Offsite Safety Review Committees, those charters would answer many of my gTL 3 (' -

, Mr..,Donnie H. Grimsley page 20 9/11/87 3 questions. In an attempt to clarify the type of infor-motion I seek, I am presenting the questions below:

1. Who within the NRC can initiate a request for a team activity?

2. Who must approve a' team activity?

3. What is the role of the cognizant Regional Office staff in the initiation and conduct of team activities, and the resolution of the team findings?

4. Who detennines the membership.of each team?

5. Who determines the person who is to serve as the team leader?

6. Which Office (s), Division (s), and Branch (es) are assigned enforcement authority for the team's findings?

7. Are there established time scales upon which the teams are expected to operate; for example, time allotted for field activity, time until production of a report, time until the licensee is notified of the findings, etc.?

8. Is there a provision for publication of dis-senting opinions, such as there is for the Advisory Committee for Reactor Safeguards, other than through the Dissenting Professional Opinion program?

9. If there are provisions for dissenting opinions, will those opinions be made known routinely to the subject licensees?

10. What are the official titles of all such teams that fall within the interest boundaries ex-pressed here?

i l

i I will appreciate your efforts to obtain a response to this request. .If I. con be of assistance in- further-ing your efforts, or those of others within the i

Commission staff, do'not hesitate to let se know. j Thank you.

Very truly yours, I
