SUMMARY
JANUARY 21-22,1998 The subject works, hop, an output from DRCH's operating plan, was hosted by the Quality Assurance, Vendor Inspection, and Maintenance Branch (HQMB), at NRC headquarters, Rockville, Maryland. NRC staff members from all four regions and headquarters representatives from organizations associated with and responsib'? for the maintenance rule (MR), enforcement, general counsel, license renewal, technical training and probabilistic safety assessments were in attendance to reach a " common understanding" on certain itsues to ensure consistency between inspections and enforcement actions. Significant MR issues were highlighted during this MR workshop. These issues are part of the feedback process for HQMB's uses to provide the progmmmatic oversite of the maintenance rule implementation. Significant MR issues include: , NRC enforcement and legal positions on 10 CFR 50.65 (a)(2) violations. p Future rule changs to 10 CFR 50.65(a)(3). Proposed methods of inspecting plants that have been shutdown. NRC Maintenance Rule Baseline Inspection (MRBI) schedule, inspection support, MR training, methods for closing MRBI open items, NRC MR Web page, inspection and PRA resources, use of risk insights during each inspection, and the acceptable method of addressing QA requirements for MR implementation. 9003110025 980306 PDR
