Withdrawal of Certificate Amendment Request - Title of Shift Operations Manager

Dear Dr. Paperiello:

By letter dated December 10,1997 (Reference 1), USEC submitted a certificate amendment request I

to revise the " Description of Noncompliance" in Compliance Plan, Issue 21 to change the title of Plant Shift Superintendent Manager to Shin Operations Manager. The purpose of this letter is to withdraw the subject amendment request.

l l

Revision 4 of the Plan for Achieving Comphance with NRC Regulations at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (Compliance Plan), issued on April 15, 1997, revised the " Description of Noncompliance" for Issue 21, to change the title of Plant ShiR Superintendent Manager to Shift Operations Manager. This Compliance Plan change was implemented in accordance with Reference 2, which documents that changes to the " Description ofNoncompliance" section would not require NRC approval prior to implementation provided the change meets the criteria of 10 CFR 76.68 (a)(1), (2), (3), (4), and (6) and does not result in a change to the Technical Safety Requirements.

The change to Issue 21 was evaluated and determined to satisfy the above criteria. As such, the change to issue 21 was approved and issued with Revision 4 of the Compliance Plan.

Reference 3, issued subsequent to Revision 4 of the Compliance Plan, established NRC's position on changes to the Compliance Plan. As stated in Reference 3, changes to the " Description of Noncompliance" section require NRC review and approval prior to implementation. Reference 3 also requires that any changes that have been made to the " Description of Noncompliance" section be submitted to the NRC for review and approval through an amendment to the Certificate of Compliance. The subject Certificate Amendment Request was provided in response to this requirement.
