December 31, 1974 To: All AEC Licensees CRI - A FOR DE M INING ENFORCEMENT ACTION AND CATEGORIES OF NONCOMPLIANCE WITR AEC REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS - MODIFICATIONS On Scvember 1,1972, the Co:=11ssion issued criteria for enforcement actions to be taken for noncompliance with its rules and with license conditions in accordance with Sections 161, 186, and 234 of the Atomic Energy Act and Subpart B of Part 2, 10 CFR.

On June 5, 1973, the Coretission notified licensees that categories of violation with AEC regulatory requirements had been~ established because the Commission and the nuclear industry recognized that the significance of violations varies in the potential for affecting the health and safety of the public, the com=on defense and security, and the environment.

Based on a review of the experience with the criteria for determining enforcement action and the categories of noncompliance, modifications of the use of these criteria and these categories are being :tade.

Comments explaining the modifications are enclosed as Attach =ents A and B.

The changes in th'e cr'iteria and categories are primarily administrativa in nature and should result in a higher level of understanding of the enforcement progra= - and the results of the program - on the part of the public and the industry. The basic purpose of the enforcecent program - enhance =ent of-the health and safety of the public, the coc: mon defense and security, and the environment - re=ains the same. The long standing practice of requiring corrective action for each identified item of noncompliance (Violations) is not changed.

The enforcement program continues to emphasize corrective action where necessary to assure that regulated activities meet applicable requirements and are. conducted with due regard for public health and safety, co==on defence and security and protection of the environ =ent.

The codifications clarify the enforcement criteria and categori'es of nonce =pliance in the areas of safeguards and environ = ental ::atters and provide core explicit def.initions to aid in a better understanding of the enforce =ent progran. These definitions make clear the applicability of the progra= in =atters of quality assurance, =anagement control, and syst se the Cocmission relies to a degree on re ective action is taken important =atters DUPLICATE DOCUMENT Entire document previously entered into system under:
