Dear Mr. Peterson:

The Commission has reviewed the OMB draft bill "To establish a f!uclear Safety Oversight Committee" forwarded by your letter of March 26, 1980. The bill would authorize by statute the committee which the President created on March 18, 1980, in E.0. 12202. Recognizing that the committee's purpose is to advise the President on the progress of Federal, State and industry actions in response to the recommendations of the President's Comission on Three Mile Island, the Commission does not object to the draft bill. The Commission, however, believes that the characterization of the committee's broad function as " oversight" rather than " advisory" could raise questions about the Commissicn's independence from the Executive Branch. Therefore, the Commission reconmends that the accompanying letter to the Congress include an explicit statement that the committee is not to seek to influence decisions or actions regarding matters before the Commission. Since we believe the intent of the bill to be in accord with such a limitation on the committee, its explicit statement would not entail a change of the bill or the functions of the committee. The Commission recognizes that the work of the comittee could serve as a basis for actions and proposals by the Executive Branch that might bear upon the Commission's regulatory activities. We recommend the letter accompanying the draft bill contain a statement that the Executive Branch will consult NRC and consider the Comission's views, in developing any such actions or proposals. We are confident this is what the Executive Branch would do in any event. Commissioners Gilinsky and Bradford have the following separate coment: Clearly, the President should heve complete freedom to structure a Comittee to advise him on nuclear safety. H eever, establishing the Nuclear Safety Oversight Committee by statute would undermine the stature and authority of the Muclear Regulatory Commission and therefore the public acceptabiitty of its decisions. Moreover, the integrity of the regulatory process would be brought into question by a statutory Oversight Committee which reports, in part, to the Secretary of Energy. DOE's long-term waste management facilities will be subject to NRC licensing as will other DOE activities. The consequences, both real and apparent, of statutorily establishing the Oversight Committee can readily be appreciated if one considers the consequences of statutorily establishing a five-person SEC Oversight Committee reporting to the Secretaries of the Treasury and Commerce or an eleven-person I.C.C. Oversight Committee reporting to the Secretaries of Comerce and Transportation. 8006050 M L'

Dear Mr. Nichols:

At yo'ur request, the Comission has reviewed the draft executive order which would establish the " Oversight Cormittee on Nuclear Safety." We recognize the importance of the President's interest in tracking the Comission's actions which respond to the report. of the President's Comission on the Accident at Three Mile island; thus, we understand the reason for the Com-mittee. However, we have two minor concerns about the Comittee. Our first concern is that the draft executive order can be interpreted to create doubts about, the Co=ission's independence because the order charac-terizes the. Cor:mittee's broad function as " oversight" rather than " advisory," and because it grants the Committee largely undefined authority to obtain information, advice and assistance from other agencies, including the Com-mission. Consequently, we would urge that the order state explicitly that the Comittee is not to undertake substantive decisionmaking regarding cases or rulcT.akings pending before the NRC. Moreover, we believe that.the order ~' should specifiy in greater detail (1) the categories of "information,. advice or assistance" that the Comittee is expected to need, (2) the statutes and authorities which are to be consulted in construing the terms "to the extent pemitted by law," and (3) the procedures to be followed for Comittee requests directed to the Comission. Our second comment relates to the ambiguity in the draft order about the Committee's role with respect to Federal safety research for light water reactors. We are unable to determine what activities the Advisory Co:dittee would be expected to perform, incident to its "recomending the general context of a Federal research program." The Energy Reorganization Act of 1974. specifies the Commission's statutory role in safety research, as well as the responsibilities of other Federal agencies (42 USC !5845). In closing, the Correnission wishes to emphasize its intention to cooperate . fully and voluntarily with the President and the Conmittee with respect to TMI followup actions. We trust that our coments on the draft executive order are helpful. h Si cerely,' \\ p/Q. m / John F. Ahearne

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT 'a y: OFFICE OF M ANAGEMENT AND BUDGET s*.- WASHINGTON. D.C. 20503 . Honorable Walter F. Mondale President of the Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 De a r M r. President: On December 7, 1979, President Carter responded to the Kemeny Commission investigation of the accident' at Three Mile Island. One of the key items he specified was the establish-ment of an oversight committee to advise him on the success of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), industry and State governments in implenenting necessary measures for improved nuclear safety. The " Nuclear Saf ety Oversight Committee" was established by Executive Order 12202 on March 18, 1980. The Executive Order provides for a termination date of September 30, 1980. The enclosed legislation provides for authorization of the Committee through September 30, 1982. The Committee's purpose will be to report regularly to the President on the progress being made in improving nuclear. safety. In particular.the Committee will advise on the extent of progress made by the NRC in effecting management, substantive and procedural reforms; on whether or not the NRC and nuclear power industry are fulfilling their respon-sibility in upgrading the capabilities and training of utility operators; and the progress of the Federal Emergency Management Agency on its review of State and local of f-site emergency planning preparedness. Among its other f unctions, the Committee will advise on the success of developing a coordinated program to improve worker and public health safety with regard to radiological hazards. Your assistance in obtaining the enactment of this legislation before September 30, 1980, will enable the Nuclear Safety oversight Committee to fulfill its important oversight and advisory role. Enactment of this legislation would be in accord.with the President's program for increased nuclear safety. Sincerely, Jabes T. McIn tyre, Jr. Director Enclosures
