CFFICE OF THE June 13, 1988 A </e ;
COMMISSIONER cys: Morris King MEMORANDUM FOR:
Commissioner Carr Ross Thomas M. Roberts ff SPeis FROM:
vkhr sf 6/17 COMKC-88
.3, OPTIONS FOR RULEMAKING TO BE
SUBJECT:
PROVIDED AT NRC MAIIPI'ENANCE WORKSHOP -
JULY 11-13, 1988 As you indicate in your memorandum, there does not appear to be a clear consensus at the staff level, let alone with the ACRS, public or industry, as to what direction rulemaking in the area of maintenance should take (I do not believe that there is even a I
consensus that rulemaking is the correct direction to take).
continue to believe that the approach the Commission takes in the area of maintenance is a major policy question.
It should be approached in a deliberate manner with full benefit of input from
('N the public, ACRS and industry.
Instead of narrowing the focus of i
- d the July workshop, I would have expanded it to explore alternate of which approaches to enhancing the effective of maintenance, rulemaking would be one option.
Considering that the current guidance to the staff is to develop a maintenance rule, for which staff has developed no clear consensus, I believe that the staff should be allowed to explore various options at the July workshop, of which one is to focus on PIs.
I am not yet ready to support any option as a " preferred option,"
