Dear Mr. Petticrew:

This refers to your letter of June 11, 1986 and to the followup conversation between Mr. E. G. Greenman of my staff and yourself on July 17, 1986 regarding your interest in accompanying NRC inspection personnel as a Monroe County State of Michigan, representative. The purpose of the accompaniment is to observe entrance and exit interviews and portions of our final inspection effort, which will be conducted prior to the Fermi 2 restart.

For this inspection effort, your point of contact in the NRC Region III Office is Edward G. Greenman, Deputy Director, Division of Reactor Projects. He has made appropriate arrangements with the resident intpectors at Fermi. You should also make separate arrangements with Detroit Edison Company representatives to assure your entrance to their Fermi 2 facility.

/;

Enclosed with this letter is a Protocol for Accompaniment that you are requested to complete and return to this office. The Protocol summarizes NRC policy on NRC inspection accompaniment and certifies your agreement to abide by the criteria contained therein.

Again, I wish to thank you for your interest in our regulatory program and processes. We look forward to continued cooperation with you.

Sincerely, Sf3giviel eIW W
