Dear Sir:

In accordance with the provisions of Section 2.201 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Public Scr-vice Indiana offers the following information in response to the item of noncompliance 546/79-07-06; 547/79-07-06.

'si PUBUC 2 SERVK:E Mr. Gaston Fiorelli Novembe. 1, 1979 INDIANA equipment calibration records were not available at the Marble Hill Site and the procedure, while available at the site, had not been subn itted to PSI for review.

PSI Quality Assurance Representatives instructed Newberg-Marble Hill to acquire the appropriate records and to retest any area tested before these records were on site and accepted. Testing was performed prior to PSI acceptance of these records solely for gathering preliminary data, and for equipment and process check out. All such teste were subsequently repeated. These conditions were documented by PSI Quality Assurance Personnel on Surveillance Inspection Reports and Field Corrective Action Requests. _This documentation is available at the Marble Hill Site for review.

Corrective Action To Prevent Recurrence Because the testing in question was performed on the basis of preliminary equipment and pre ess check out, the missing documentation was fully documented and controlled through PSI Surveillance and Corrective Action Reports, and because all o'.ficial data was obtained only after appropriate records and procedures were on site and approved , no further action to prevent recurrence is believed necessary.

Date When Full Ccmpliance Will Be Achieved Full compliance was achieved on July 7, 1979. If you have any questions regarding the above, please contact me.

Since ely, p& 0
