The Nuclear Regulatory Comission has received a request, accompanying 1
a proposal for Comission approval of a settlement of a special proceeding, that the Comission seek an opinion from the Comptroller General with respect to the following question:
In connection with the tennination and settlement of a special proceeding brought to investigate charges against a private attorney and NRC staff attorneys, which termir.a-tion and settlement results in a withdrawal and striking of all charges.against all such attorneys, does the NRC have authority to reimburse a maximum of $1,000 in actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of the private attorney in connection with such. proceeding, when the NRC has paid all fees and expenses of the staff attorneys in l
connection with such proceeding, and the NRC believes that the withdrawal, settlement and termination of the proceed-ing is in the public interest?
The Comission hereby requests such an opinion.
Should you wish additional information, please call James L. Kelley, Acting General Counsel, at 634-3288.
Sincerely,'
