Your May 1, 2006, letter to me concerned the draft DOE manual being developed in response to Board Recommendation 2005-1.  Your letter provided Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board staff comments and requested a report within 30 days.  To address this matter in detail, the DOE 2005-1 working group developed the enclosed DOE comment resolution.

 

If you have any questions, please call me at 202-586-4693 or Mr. Richard Stark at 301-903-4407.

 

Sincerely,
