SUBJECT:
Revised Submittal of Quality Assurance Program R.E.Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Docket Number 50-244
Dear Mr.Johnson:
In accordance with 10 CFR 50.54 enclosed is a modified revision 18 to the Quality Assurance Program for Station Operation trans-mitted to you on December 30, 1992.This revised submittal provides information in response to questions raised during phone conferences with NRC Region I reviewer, Fred Bower.Revision 18 includes changes in commitment for two sets of responsibilities.
The first change is to remove the requirement for Quality Perfor-mance to concur on procedures directly implementing the quality assurance program.This change involves a change in commitment, but is not considered to be a reduction in effectiveness as the responsibility for Quality Assurance review of procedures still exists and Quality Performance assessment of these activities has increased due to the initiation of the Quality Assurance Surveil-lance program.The responsibility for procedure adequacy belongs solely to the responsible management of the associated activi-ties.This reinforcement of line organization responsibility for procedure adequacy is being adopted throughout the industry.The second responsibility change involving a change to commitment removes Quality Assurance responsibility for reviewing corrective
" action reports to assure that the cause was determined and that adequate corrective action has been taken to preclude recurrence.
This activity is currently assigned to and is being performed by the Plant Operations Review Committee CAR subcommittee in addi-tion to Quality Assurance.
Quality Assurance performs two audits annually of the corrective action program as required by Techni-cal Specification 6.5.2.8.In addition, this area is assessed by Quality Assurance surveillances, as items that are significant conditions adverse to quality are often Quality Assurance sur-veillance topics or have in process Quality Assurance involve-ment.Deleting Quality Assurance review and concurrence from what has been a redundant independent review will have no impact on the commitment for independently assuring the adequate identi-fication of actions being taken to preclude recurrence.

,<<~l N t)~jL C These changes will not reduce the effectiveness of the Ginna Station Quality Assurance Program nor reduce any of our previous commitments.
This is based on the following considerations:
The removal of Quality Performance from concurrence with procedures is compensated by assignment of that responsibil-ity to responsible management and by audits and surveil-lances of procedure adequacy and implementation by Quality Performance.
The removal of Quality.Assurance review and concurrence with corrective action reports cause determination and action to preclude recurrence is compensated by the Plant Operations Review Committee CAR Subcommittee performing this task and by audits and surveillance being performed of both the corrective action program and individual corrective action reports.The other title and responsibility changes do not reduce any commitments but reflect organizational changes to improve Rochester Gas and Electric's ability to safely, legally and efficiently implement the Quality Assurance Program require-ments and intent.Changes made to revision 17 of the Quality Assurance Program for station operation are denoted by a single revision bar in the left margin.Very truly yours, Robert C.Mecredy RCMhlmch069
