Dear Congressman Young:
Thank you for your letter dated February 9,1993 forwarding a letter from a constituent, Mr. Bob Brister, dated January 22, 1993 which provided comments on a proposed rulemaking relating to siting criteria. The Nuclear Regulatory l
Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations to update the criteria j
used in decisions regarding power reactor siting, including geologic, seismic, and earthquake engineering considerations for future nuclear power plants.
1 The proposed rule would allow NRC to benefit from experience gained in the application of the procedures and methods set forth in the current regulations l
and to incorporate the rapid advancements in the earth sciences and earthquake engineering.
As you may know, the proposed rule change was published in the l
Federal Register on October 20, 1992 for a public comment period ending on March 24, 1993. A copy of the letter you forwarded will be docketed and fully l
evaluated along with all other public comment letters that relate to this l
rulemaking action.

Sincerely, i
