Dear Senator Boren:
Your letter on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. John Hoogawind of Claremont, Oklahoma has been referred to our office by the Federal Energy Regulatory Comission.
Mr. and Mrs. Hoogewind refer to a proposed rule under consideration by the Nuclear Regulatory Comission which would eliminate requirements for financial qualifications review of utility applicants prior to licensing.
The Atomic Energy Act of D54, as amended, gives the NRC discretion to decide what financial qualifications are appropriate for a utility before it is granted a license to build or operate a nuclear power plant.
The Comission believes that its existing financial qt.alifications review has done little to identify substantial health and safety concerns at nuclear power plants.
Consequently, on August 19, 1981, it published proposed regulations to eliminate current financial qualificaticos review and findings and to solicit coments regarding the type of NRC review that would focus effectively on financial considerations that might have.an adverse impact on safety.
The comment period on the proposed rule expired on October 19, 1981.
Coments received after that date will be considered if it is practical to do so.
The comments of Mr. and Mrs. Hoogewind will be considered along with others received. For your information, I am enclosing a copy of the Federal Register notice soliciting comment on the proposed rule.
I hope that this infonnation is helpful in responding to your constituents.
Sincerely, DS' s
