Re: Staff Revised CRGR #408 (April 25) Package Sunil - As we discussed via telephone this morning, the change proposed by your staff to the generic letter language is an acceptable approach to the resolution of my concern.

Pat:

We met with individual members (Rich Barrett, Bruce Boger) to fully understand further explain our intentions. We would like to do the same with you via a conference call. What is your availability tomorror for a 15 minute call? I would like to fully address your comment, before asking for CRGR endorsement.

Thank you.

Sunil

"Information Collection Requests", says "The provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(f) require the nuclear power reactor licensees to respond to both generic and facility-specific information requests from the staff. This rule stipulates that except for information sought to verify licensee compliance with the current licensing basis, NRC must prepare the reasons for the information request to ensure that the burden imposed on licensees is justified in view of the potential safety (or security) significance of the issue to be addressed."
