Docket No. 50-454 Commonwealth Edison Company ATTN: Mr. Cordell Reed Vice President Post Office Box 767 Chicago, IL 60690 Gentlemen:

1-Thank you for your letter dated March 21, 1986, informing us of the steps you have taken to correct the violations which we brought to ycur attention in Inspection Report No. 50-454/86002 forwarded by our letter dated February 20, 1986. Your response appears adequate and we will examine these matters during subsequent inspection With regards to your request for us to reconsider the classification of Violations 1 and 4, we have reviewed the violations and consider the severity levels assigned to be appropriate. While our inspection report summary indicated that these violations "were of minor safety significance," af ter the missed surveillances were satisfactorily performed, this characterization was intended to appropriately reflect the immediate impact on public safety. The severity level assigned to these violations is based on the safety significance of the regulatory requirements involved. Thus, violations 1 and 4 are of Level IV Severity as prescribed by 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, Supplement I.D. which states: " Violations involving for example: (1) A less significant violation of a Technical Specification Limiting Condition for Operation where the appropriate Action Statement was not satisfied within the time allotment by the Action Statemen .. ."

In the future, we will summarize our inspection findings in terms rore consistent with the terminology as contained in 10 CFR Part I trust this is responsive to your concer Should you have any additional questions please call me.
