r ~ COMMENTS - S. 3240 INDEPENDENT REGULATO?.Y COMMISSION ACT The stated purpose of the sponsors of S. 3240, the Indepencent Regulatory Commission Act, is to improve the quality of regulatory appointments, to assure the independent status of the independent commissions, and eliminate undue influence and conflicts of interest in the regulating process. The Nuclear Regulatory Conmission (NRC) is one of twelve agencies specific-ally identified as subj ect to the legislation. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission endorses the aims of the legislation. The i=portance of ensuring that regulatory commission members are intelligent, experienced, and diligent men or women of probity cannot be doubted. Further, it is beyond. question that in order to fulfill the Congress's expectation of an independent decisionmaking process, these commissioners nust operate without the pressures of special interest groups, without even the appearance cf a conflict of interest and without unauthorized political pressure from any branch of government. Most particularly, independence frca the executive branch must be protected in crder te conferm to the overall Cengressional purpcse.in establishing such agencies. These comments will discuss the legislation 's previsionr, focusing on any problem areas we have been able to identify with regard to the application of a provision to NRC. e l 1 1 1 ~ I l r =:....

== Indeoendence froi-the Executive 3 ranch p In Sudget Recuests and Legislative Recorrendatiens (Sections 7 and c) d S. 3240 provides that the executive branch shall not have authority to require an independent cc ission Oc submit budget recuests (Section 7) or legislative recc mendations (Section.8) or testimony (Section 8) fer approval cr review before the agency submits them to Congress. The proposed legislation calls for concurrent submissicn to the executive branch and to Congress. The effect of the provision would permit independent ecmmis-siens to make known their views directly to the Congress. Such legislation would enhance the independence of the cc missions. Congress has already enacted a similar provi-sion for.the Interstate Cetmerce Cc==ission with regard to its budget requests. See 31 U.S.C. 5 11(j)(ic76). Other agencies appear now to be bound to submit budget requests. See attached Analysis of Legal Basis fcr I:EC's Submission cf Sudret to OM3. Concerning the ability of independent agencies Oc make kncwn i their views on legislation, OM3's requirement'that independent agencies submit bill comments exclusively through them is based en a legal footing that is less clear than the budget submissicn requirement. Nonetheless, NRC has generally cceplied with OM3 requirements, not only because a legal case could be made for such cc=pliance, but because it was a reasonable way of keeping the Cc=:ission infer:ed about Administration policy so that, to the extent censistent with its regulatory mandate, the NRC would not inadvertently adopt a position inconsistent with government-wide policy. This history may have created sufficient precedent to war- ~ rant explicit legislative clarification, as set fcrth in S. 3240. In addition to enabling the Congress to receive directly the independent agencies' views about their rescurce needs and their positions en pending legislation, such a provision eculd significantly expedite Congressional receipt of agency cenments. ft-

No.12044 Mar. 23,1978, 43 F.R.12661 OfPROVING GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS As President of the United States of America, I direct each Executive Agency to adopt piocedures to improve existing and future regulations. Section 1. Policy. Regulations shall be as simple and clear as pos-sible. They shall achle-e legislative goals effectively and efficiently. They shall not impose unnecessary burdens on the, economy, on indi-viduals, on public or private organizations, or on State and local gov-ernments. To achieve these objectives, regulations shall be developed through a process which ensures that: ta) the need for and purposes of the regulation are clearly estab-lished; (b) heads of agencies and policy officials exercise effective over-sight; (c) opportunity exists for ear!y participation and comment by other. Federal agencies. State and local govern =ents, businesses, or-ganizations and individual members of the pubitc; i (d) meaningful alternatives are considered and analyzed before the regulation is issued; and (e) cotsp!!ance costs, paperwork and other burdens on the public are minimized. Sec. 2. Reform of the Process for Developing Significant Regulations. Agencies shall review and revise their procedures for developing regula-tions to be consistent with the policies of this Order and in a manner that minimizes paperwork. Agencies' procedures should fit their own needs but, at a minimum, these procedures shall include the following: (a) Semiannual Agenda of Regulations. To give the public ade-quate notice, agencies shall publish at least sem! annually an agenda of significant regulations under development or review. On the first Monday in October, each agency shall publish in the FEDERAL REGISTER a schedule showing the times during the coming fiscal year when the agency's semiannual agenda will be published. Supplements to the agenda may be published at other times during the year if necessary, but the semiannual agendas shall be as complete as possible. The head of each agency shall approve the agenda before it is published. At a minimum, each published agenda shall describe the regu-lations being considered by the agency, the need for and the 9680

.5 Y d-g Ia EXECUTIVE ORDERS Sec. 3. Regulatory Analysis. Some of the regulations identified as significant =av have =ajor econornic consequences for the general ecoco-my, for individual industries, geographical regions or levels of govern-n2 ent. For these regulations agencies shall prepare a regulatory analysis. Such an analysis shall involve a careful examination of alternative ap-proaches early in the decision-making process. The following requirements shall govern the preparation of regulatory analyses: (a) Criteria. Agency heads shall establish criteria for determining which regulations require regulatory a alyses. The criteria estab!!shed shall: (1) ensure that regulatory analyses are performed for all regu-laticas which will result in (a) an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more; or (b) a major in-crease in costs or prices for individual industries, levels of government or geographic regions; and (2) provide that in the agency head's discretion. regulatory analysis may be completed on any proposed regulation. (b) Procedures. Agency heads shall establish procedures for developing the regulatory analysis and obtaining public com-ment. (1) Each regulatory ana. lysis shall contain a succinct state-ment of the problem; a description of the major alterna-tive ways of dealing with the problems that were considered by the agency; an analysis of the economic consequences of each of these alternatives and a detailed explanation of the reasons for choosing one alternative over the others. (2) Agencies shall include in their public notice of proposed rules an explanation of the regulatory approach that has been selected or is favored and a short description of the other alternatives considered. A statement of how the public may obtain a copy of the draft regulatory analysis shall also be included. (3) Agencies shall prepare a final regulatory analysis to be made available when the final regulations are published. Regulatory analyses shall not be required in rulemaking proceedings pending at the time this Order is issued if an Economic Impact Statement has already been prepared in accordance with Executive Orders 118 1 and 119 4 9. Sec. 4. Review of Existing Regulations. Agencies shall periodically i review their existing regulations to determine whether they are achieving the policy goals of this Order. This review will follow the same pro-cedural steps out!!ned for the development of new regulations.
