. This letter confirms our conversation of August 8,1989, in which you agreed -

that...'your . organization would participate in the Nuclear . Regulatory Commission's. (NRC) 1 Regulatory Impact Survey on September 11, 1989. We appreciate your cooperation in this effort. Information regarding this survey is provided below.

The NRC hash received feedback from nuclear utilities and nuclear utility organizations that NRC generic 'and site specific activities' may be moving in a-direction such that the desired safety effects may not be realized. As'a result of.this feedback,L the'NRC plans to conduct a survey of licensee staff-members. representing several organizational elements and levels at several utilities.throughout the nation. The feedback from licensee ~ staff members will be evaluated to determine _what changes, if any, should be'made to the NRC's

.. regulatory; approach to enhancing the safe operation of nuclear power plants.

The survey will be-conducted during September through November 1989.by a team of approximately five ' senior' NRC' managers from the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Office for : Analysis ~ and Evaluation of Operational Data and the- ~

Regional-Offices. Mr. A. Bert Davis, Region III Administrator, will lead the overall effort.

The meeting with your organization will be' held at your Birmingham, Alabama,

, Corporate.0ffice. The schedule and general discussion groups are shown in the enclosure. We' desire that members of your organization discuss, without reservation or limitations, their views on NRC generic and site specific -

activities and how NRC activities may be affected by the activities of other organizations such as~ INPO, states. -and insurance companies. Problems and issues identified will not be directly associated with the individuals or with your company.

.Please provide the name and phone number of an individual within your organization that we can contact in case of questions concerning meeting logistics. This

.information should be provided by telephone to Cindy Pederson, Region III, at (312)790-5540 by August 18, 1989.
