Emergency Preparedness Appraisal

In response to Mr. J. E. Gagliardo's letter dated February 27, 1987,

which tratsmitted the Emergency Preparedness Appraisal Inspection Report, we

are submitting the attached schedule for resolving all identified

deficiencies. Houston Lighting & Power (HMP) personnel met with the NRC

staff on Janary 8, 1987 to discuss these items. The attachment also cross

references each of the Inspection Report item numbers to the numbers assigned

by HMP prior to receipt of the inspection report and used during the January

meeting. Also noted on the attachment are any necessary qualifying comments

relative to the schedule dates.

Since the time of the appraisal, HMP has devoted an extensive amount of >

resources to the Emergency Preparedness Program. We believe that with

completion of the procedures, training, systems, etc. listed on the

'

attachment, HMP will be able to demonstrate adequate emergency preparedness

at the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station.

If you should have any questions on this matter, please contact Mr.
