Dear Mr. Thrash:

Alabama Power Company J. M. Farley Unit 1 and 2 SAFETY EVALUATION ON EQUIPMENT QUALIFICATION Recently the NRC has issued letters to some utilities regarding the results of the staff review of the utility response to the Safety Evaluation on Equipment Qualification. The letters (samples attached) request certain EQ information from the utility central file be forwarded to Franklin Research Center to facilitate the NRC contractor review.

Where the requested information is not proprietary to Westinghouse, it is appropriate for utilities to submit such information directly to Franklin.

Pursuant to an agreement reached between Westinghouse and Mr. E. Shomaker of the NRC Office of the Executive Legal Director, who has discussed this matter with Mr. Z. Rosztoczy of the Equipment Qualification Branch, we ask that you not submit Westinghouse proprietary information to Franklin. Westinghouse will ensure that any such requested material is, or has been, submitted directly to the NRC on a timely basis.

Should you have any questions concerning this advice, please contact myself or Mr. George Butterworth of our Nuclear Safety Department (412) 373-5761.

Very truly yours, t

J.
