Report-Out of AI #180
During the October 2012 NuMC Meeting, John Barrett was tasked to review two identified audits
whose assigned merit status were in question. (148595 & 142751). Based on the results of this
review – appropriate corrective action shall be taken and communicated to the NuMC.
John looked into the error in the original Merit that was set by the Staff Engineer and looked at
several other audits with and without Merit in the NUCAP program and believes that the error was
isolated. Since the completion of the Merit screen is a manually controlled process by the Audit
Report Reviewer (ARR), it is possible that human errors may occur. The Nadcap and NUCAP
program provide for Subscriber review of this element as well as the review of the audit report and
NCR corrective actions. Infrequently errors are detected by this review and fed back to the ARR.
Subscribers who are Reviewers are reminded to include the verification of the accuracy of the Merit
screen during their review of any audit report in eAuditNet.
Further, there have been some enhancements promoted by PRI Staff to error proof the Merit
screen where possible, but could reduce the opportunities for human error.

CONFIRMED MINUTES
Additionally, Pascal Blondet provided a report on the Status/Feedback from the EASA Observation
of a NUCAP Option B Headquarters Audit. The following point was raised by EASA during their
observation; Nadcap currently has a process in place that defines the necessary actions to take
when a Subscriber notifies PRI of potential product impact (NOP-006 – Supplier Advisory Process),
but Nadcap does not define the Subscriber responsibility to notify Nadcap for these situations. The
Nadcap program allows for Subscribers to notify PRI of potential product impact issues that are
observed outside of a Nadcap audit but does not mandate that Subscribers to do this.
5.1 EASA Update

Sub-team Update – Should the NuMC be a subset of the NMC?
5.3 NuMC Subset of
NMC.pptx
The question was asked during the October 2012 NuMC meeting; should the NuMC be a subset of
the NMC? A sub-team was created to discuss the points and provide a recommendation. Due to
the differences in the structure of the Nadcap and NUCAP programs and the fact that any changes
in reporting structure will do little to change the Subscriber or PRI resources to support the
program, but would present major challenges to its operation and compliance, it was recommended
that no change in structure or reporting is appropriate at this time. It was then decided that no
changes will be made.
5.4
NUCAP Leadership Changes
Pascal Blondet has volunteered to assume the position of Chair in the absence of Laurie Strom
who announced that she is stepping down at the October 2012 meeting. It was proposed that
Frank Mariot take over as Vice Chair. A motion was raised and seconded to approve Frank Mariot
as the Vice-Chair. The approval was unanimous and Frank Mariot’s appointment is subject to
approval by the PRI Board of Directors at their next planned meeting in February 2013
