When an evaluation of an Operator's records or Regulated Facilities indicate that the Operator is or may be violating these Regulations, Staff shall provide the Operator with prompt notice of the potential violation, at which point Staff may informally discuss the potential violation with the Operator. Any documentation or physical evidence necessary to support an allegation of non-compliance may be obtained during the inspection. Timely corrective action may be taken by the Operator of the facilities where a potential violation exists, thus correcting the potential violation without further action.
