The purpose of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness of the progra= and to ensure proper co=pliance with Metropolitan Edison policy and the 10CFR50 Appendix B criteria.

In addition to the above-described audit program, the General Office Review Board conducts special reviews, audits, and investigations as requested by the Company President or as deemed necessary to confirm the adequate function-ing of the plant and corporate staff. These audits may be assigned to other qualified persons having no direct line of responsibility for day-to-day operations of the plant, including Metropolitan Edison Conpany Operational Quality Assurance personnel. To prevent unnecessary duplication, so=e General Office Review Board audits may also serve to satisfy audits scheduled by the Manager-Operational Quality Assurance. The results of General Office Review Board audits are reported to the Metropolitan Edison Co=pany President, 'Vice President-Generation, Manager-Operational Quality Assurance, Manager-Generating Stations, Station Superintendent, and others, as appropriate.
