Maintenance and Repair

Experience has shown that while prohibiting manufacturer provision of maintenance or repair is a sound approach, situations occur in which it may be more effective and efficient for the manufacturer to perform this work. Under the revised rule, the manufacturer may be required to provide  maintenance or repairs when the Altoona facility determines that the manufacturer is the best party to do so. The determination is made by the operator of the facility, who may supervise the work to be performed.
