RESOLUTION SCHEDULE FOR DPOs 2006-002 AND 2006-003 Below is listed the projected schedules for resolution of the two subject DPOs.

The delays have been related to several factors:

The initiation of Panel work and scheduling the first Panel meeting was delayed due to several other competing priorities and travel schedules of various Panel members (approximately one and one-half month delay).

The review was more complex than normal DPO Panel activities due to the assignment of two DPOs to one Panel. This assignment was appropriate due to the similarities between the DPOs, but increased the Panel workload handling the two issues simultaneously.

The issues involved in the DPOs had their root in actions taken by the NRC approximately 20 years ago with multiple revisions of GDC-4. Due to age of the background materials, reconstruction of the history was complicated and time consuming.

Because the matter involved in resolving the DPOs concerned an interpretation of the revisions to GDC-4, the Panel determined that it desired a review of its conclusions by the Office of General Counsel (approximately two week delay).
