Re:
SACLViENTO MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT Cd hgh (Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station)
Q Docket No. 50-312 (SP) d 4 l
Dear Mr. Cho:
This is in reply to your letter of December 31, 1979, requesting that I respond to the Appeal Board's desire to assure itself that no conflict exists between my former NRC employment and r:y current representation of the California Energy Co= mission in this proceeding.
My activities as Director of the NRC's Office of Inter-national and State Programs did not include involvement in licensing proceedings and, specifically, did not involve the licensing review of the Rancho Seco facility.
Indeed, to the best of my recollection, I do not recall participating in any staff reviews or decisions arising from the Rancho Seco licence application.
The functions of the Office of International and State Programs during the period that I served as Director were in nature liaison as opposed to regulatory activities.
Since state emergency plans were outside the scope of licensing pro-ceedings, I recall no instance where I participated in regula-tory decisions on the Rancho Seco facility.
The " lead agency" role, to which you refer, of the NRC in the federal multi-agency process of providing assistance te i
state and local governments and of " concurrence" in state radio-logical emergency plans was not undertaken pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act and was not directed at particular nuclear 1856 2155*24 8002010

facilities.
Rather, this role was pursuant to an interagency agreement that was designed to accoc=odate several federal agencies in providing consolidated expertise to a separate Executive Branch Office of Preparedness.
At the date of my termination of NRC employment, no state plan had received federal " concurrence."
I believe that no actual or potential conflict exists between my former NRC employment and my current representation of the California Energy Commission.
In the event that the Appeal Board or you desire further information, I would of course be pleased to respond.
Sincerely yours, F
