WE HAVE EXTENDED
APPROVAL OF THESE RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS THROUGH SEPTEMBER
1987. THE AGENCY HAS NOT YET ADDRESSED TWO OF THE CONCERNS FIRST
RAISED IN 1984 IN OUR CONDITIONS OF CLEARANCE, AND REITERATED IN
1986. FIRST, THE NEED FOR AND PURPOSE OF THE RECORD OF SAFETY
DEFECTS ARE NOT CLEAR IN THIS SUBMISSION. OTHER APPROACHES, SUCH AS
A CERTIFICATION, WOULD SEEM TO MEET THE AGENCY'S NEEDS AND WOULD
IMPOSE A LESSER BURDEN ON THE PUBLIC. SECOND, THE NEED AND
PRACTICAL UTILITY OF INSPECTIONS OF EQUIPMENT ON EACH SHIFT IS NOT
CLEAR. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THESE CONCERNS WILL BE RESOLVED IN THE
AGENCY'S FINAL RULE TO BE PUBLISHED IN FY 1987, ACCORDING TO THE
APRIL 1987 REGULATORY AGENDA AND THE FY 1987 INFORMATION COLLECTION
BUDGET.
