1 Mr. R.D. Martin, Administrator Region IV N!YE U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission p 611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 1000 -

Arlington, TX 76012

Dear Mr. Martin:

l This letter is to inform you of the latest status regarding our committment -

to Mr. John Collins, former Region IV Administrator, concerning the audit frequency to be used for our HVAC subcontractor, Bahnson Company.

During April of 1983, your Construction Appraisal Team (CAT) identified a j violation associated with our HVAC subcontractor, Bahnson Company. In

discussing corrective actions during the subsequent management meetings
between NRC Region IV and TUGCo, Mr. D.N. Chapman verbally committed to schedule audits of Bahnson site activities quarterly until we re-establish

! our confidence in Bahnson's implementation of theli QA Program. This

committment was memorialized in our response to your notice of violation issued with Inspection Report 83-18.

Our review of the type and number of audit findings from the five audits conducted between March 15, 1983 and March 30, 1984 to meet our commitment prompted a meeting between Mr. B.R. Clements, TUGCo Vice President, Nuclear >

Operations, and Mr. Tom Brown, President of Flakt/Bahnson on June 1, 1984.

Following this meeting, Bahnson appointed a site QA manager and TUGCo assigned a fulltime inspector for two months to monitor Bahnson's CPSES Unit 1 "as- .

. built" verification efforts. Since this meeting, TUGCo has conducted three l audits on June 25-28, 1984; September 24-28, 1984 and December 10-13, 1984.

! Only one minor deficiency was identified during this period of time.

This result coupled with our evaluation of Bahnson's current efforts have

, caused TUGCo management to view, with enhanced confidence, Bahnson's ability to implement their Quality Assurance Program. Therefore, I have directed that the frequency of our audits of Bahnson's site activities revert to the normal annual frequency.

< t i If I can provide you with any further details, please give me a call, i

Sincerely,
