Dear Mr. Chairman:
Enclosed for the information of the Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment is a copy of a Notice of Effective Rulemaking to be published in the Federal Register. The amendment of 10 CFR Part 50 comprises a limited revision of Appendices G and H, Fracture Toughness and Reactor Vessel Surveillance Requirements.
The purpose is to lift some restrictions that have proven to be unnecessary and to delete some technical detail by substituting references to National Standards.
The amendment to Appendix G deletes the specific. fracture toughness require-.
ments for bolting and substitutes similar requirements from the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME Code). The amendment to Appendix H deletes restric-tions on the location and method of attachment of material surveillance capsules in the reactor vessel and substitutes general requirements that reference the ASME Code.

to Appendices G and _H in'.currentF applications for operating licenses,.and.f.li,, ',j..
thereby save considerable time and effort on tne part of applicants and reactor
- -.. vessel vendors,and the NRC staff as well..
