REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Performance and Quality Evaluation Branch (LPEB) Secondary - None 1. AREAS OF REVIEW LPEB reviews and evaluates new quality assurance program descriptions (QAPDs) as submitted by the applicant. LPEB or appropriate Regional personnel review and evaluate proposed QAPD changes. A QAPD may be a quality assurance topical report or part of a safety analysis report. The reviews address the quality assurance controls for the activities encompassed by the submittal that may affect the quality of items important to safety. The QAPD is a top-level policy document in which a facility's management sets the tone and establishes the manner in which quality is to be achieved. It is a product of senior-level management, and it represents an organization's overall philosophy regarding quality. The individual performing the work determines the level of quality that is achieved; Therefore, the applicant must develop and maintain a philosophy whereby each individual, properly trained and motivated, achieves the highest quality of performance of which he or she is capable. This emphasis on individual performance reinforces the importance of the self-assessment process, the object of which is to independently review and evaluate overall performance. It also underscores management's role to provide integration, discipline, and the required support to ensure success.
