Subject:
DELETION OF STAFF MEMO TO FILES FROM COMMISSION EXPORT / IMPORT ACTION PAPERS Discussion:
Presently, the staff prepares a Memorandum to the Files setting forth its findings and conclusions in support of its recomendations to the Comission on export and import licensing actions.
This memorandum, which is attacned to the staff paper, is in large measure a duplication of information presented in the staff paper itself.
Historically, a principal reason for the preparation of the Memorandum to the Files was to fill the need to place NRC views, conclusions and recommendations into the public record (through posting in the Public Document Room) inasmuch as the Commission aff papers (SECY Papers) were not placed in the t.
On October 16, the Ccmission approved guidelines for making all documentation associated with export licenscs available to the public in the PDR (SECY 78 481).
This includes placing non-sensitive SECY Papers as well as other internal memoranda datec after October 20 in the PDR.

. Discussion:
With this change to Comission procedures in mind, (continued) the staff proposes to omit the Memorandum to the Files as a separate document and to incorporate staff coments and conclusions in the staff paper itsel f.
To the extent necessary, information presented in the staff paper would be enhanced to cover details that otherwise would be covered in the memorandum.
This would reduce the time and effort required for the preparation of staff papers without sacrificing information essential to the review of the proposed licensing action.
In those cases where classified or sensitive information might preclude placing the SECY paper or other documents in the PDR, a separate, non-sensitive memorandum still would be prepared on a case-by-case basis.
Separate findings might be prepared, also, for the more complicated cases in order to hold down the length of a staff paper.
-Recomendation:
The staff proposes to institute this modification beginning January 8,1979 unless the Commission objects.
