RE:

Docket Nos.

50-250/251

(2.206)

Dear Mr Saporito:

I

C

SERYc"! m~ -6 )989

On June 20,

1989 and by supplemental letters dated June

22

(as

amended August 12)

and July 3,

1989,

you requested

the Commission

to take certain actions regarding the Turkey Point facility.

On

September

25,

1989,

the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor

Regulation

(NRR) issued Director's Decision DD-89-08 denying your

request.

On October 5,

1989,

you sent to my Office (filed on

October 13,

1989)

a document entitled "Answer to Director's

Decision Under

10 C.F.R. 2.206."

Xn that document

you contest

the finding of the Director of NRR expressed

in DD-89-08.

You

further allege that Dr. Thomas

E. Murley, the Director of NRR is

in collusion with the licensee

and that his actions

appear to be

a violation of the public trust.

You have also requested that

a

copy of your "Answer" be filed with the Federal

Re ister and

placed in the Commission Public Document

Room.

NRC regulations provide that, within 25 days after the date of

the Director's Decision, the Commission

may on its own motion

review that decision,

in whole or in part, to determine if the

Director has

abused his discretion.

Review is at the discretion

of the Commission;

no individual has the right to such

a review.

No petition or other request for Commission review of a

Director's Decision under this section will be entertained

by the

Commission

(See

10 CFR 2.206 (c)).

Therefore, to the extent

that you request that the Commission undertake

a formal review of

DD-89-08, I deny this request in accordance

with my authority

under

10 CFR 2.772.

The time provided by NRC regulation within which the Commission

may act to review the Director's Decision DD-89-08 in this docket

has expired.

The Commission has declined

any review.

Accordingly, the decision

became final agency action on October

201

1989 '

NOV

o

)g89

The allegations of collusion and of a violation of public trust

by Dr. Murley expressed

in your "Answer" have been referred to

the

NRC Inspector General.

Your request to have your "Answer+

filed with the Office of the Federal Register is denied since it

is not one of the types of documents

which may be published in

the Federal

Re ister

(See

44 U.S.C. Sections

1501-1511).

However, your answer will be placed in the

NRC Public Document

Room.

The Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation will provide a

separate

response

to your "Answer".
