SUBJECT:
SECY 79-82, STAFF COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE COMMISSION, DATED FEBRUsRY 1, 1979, AND SECY MEMORANDUM, MARCH 21, 1979, REGARDING DISCUSSIONS OF THIS SUSJECT WITH THE COMMISSION, MARCH-15, 1979 Attached are a revised memorandum proposed for signature by the Chairnan, and revisions of the Manual Chapters for the EDO, NRR, HMSS and RES, pro-viding fc-the implementation of the amendment of the ERA of 1974 by the 1979 Authorization Act, dealing with the requirement for Office Directors to keep the Executive Director for Operations informed of direct communica-tions with the Commission.
Your March 21 memorandum advised that action on this matter would be deferred pending Turtt.er discussion by the Comission of general organizational catters and a review of existing delegations of authority.
The latter subject is under study by OPE, and I have provided OPE separately a copy of this memorandum for their consideration.
I do not believe, however, that it is necessary to await the outcome of the study of delegations by the Commission to croceed with the implementation of the provisions of the FY-1979 Authcrization legislation and would rectamend Commission action on the attached.
Please note that I am withdrawing'the proposed Manual Chapter 0202, " Staff Communications with the Commission", attached to SECY 79-82.
I believe the attached memorandum and Manual Chapter revisions will suffice.
Other revisions to these Manual Chapters to update and to reflect additional delegations that have been made will be separately forwarded for Commission approval.
