Kennedy Leader, NRC Transition Team U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555
Dear Sir:
This responds to your request for information regarding the monitoring of adjudicatory proceedings.
Each month the Chairmen of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel and the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Panel submit to the Commission a short notice of occur ences in the proceedings before their respective tribunale.
These submittals provide a list of events (filings, orders, other rulings) in the ongoing proceedings.
If actions are taken orally, citations to the record are provided.
The General Counsel's office is monitoring ten proceedings, and an OGC attorney is assigned the task of following a particular proceeding.
Filings by the parties and hearing transcripts are reviewed as well as documents issued by the boards.
The OGC attorney then summarizes these developments for the Commissioners.
Generally, these have been very brief affairs.
If a Commissi ner desires more information on a particular event mentioned in the monitoring report, he can request additional information from the cognizant OGC attorney.
Recently, the Commission has agreed to an expansion of the General Counsel's portion of the monitoring program.
Henceforth the OGC monthly reports will include a total of 12 to 15 cases with additional emphasis on including summaries of parties' views on important points.
The monitoring program has not resulted in any instance of directed certification by the Commission.
Sincerely, n
'W ames A.
