%;, c OFF CE OF THE CH AIRMAN The Honorable Morris K. Udall, Chairman Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs United States House of Representatives Washington, D. C. 20515
Dear Chairman Udall:
I In accordance with Section 236 of the Legislativa Reorganization Act of 1970, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is hereby submitti.t a statement on the Conmission actions being taken with regard to the !g recommendations made by the U.S. General Accounting Office (GA0) in a,
report entitled, "Do Nuclear Regulatory Commission Plans Adequately i
Address Regulatory Deficiencies Highlighted By The Three Mile Island Accident?"
i The GA0 recommends that "... the Conmission periodically report to i
Congress on its progress in implementing the Acticn Plan, specifically providing the status of each action compared to the original Plan."
In our next Annual Report to the Congress we plan to devote an entire chapter to the aftermath of the TMI accident.
This chapter will include, s
among other things, a report on the status of Action Plan items. Of course if the Congress desires additional information on the Action Plan, we will be pleased to provide it.
However, we do request that the Nr.gress first review our initial report to determine if it is sufficient.
We believe the Annual Report is an appropriate vehicle for periodic reports to Congress on NRC's progress in implementing the Action Plan in 1
the current year, and in succeeding years as applicable.
s 1
For the most part NRC agrees with the GA0 report.
Two observations made by GAO, however, merit additional comments. These are summarized on the attached page.
