SUBJECT:

EXPERIENCE WITH THE REVISED ENFORCEMENT POLICY (Yellow Ticket 0970079) e i

I am responding to your memorandum of May 21, 1997,'on the above subject.

l Overall, the enforcement policy is considered to be working well. A few specific comments were identified and are noted bel,w.

1.

The most comprehensive review of the enforcement program was the task force report " Assessment of the NRC Enforcement Program" dated April 5, 1995. The overall assessment-is still valid.

2.

The weekly enforcement boards are very effective. NRR sees them as greatly enhancing the consistency among regions and NRR on enforcement

issues, j

In addition to the issues brought up in your memo, NRR recognizes the challenges facing the agency in the areas of 50.59 changes and FSAR/ design i'

basis documentation. We will continue to assist OE i~n these areas and with

.[

any associated enforcement actions.
