Dear Mr. Vice President:
I am responding to your March 25, 1981 letter to former Chairman Hendrie.
You asked that NRC comply with the spirit of Exe:utive Order 12291 and adhere voluntarily to Sections 2 and 3 of the, Order for upcoming major regul a t. ions.
We support the purposes and objectives of the Order.
We agree that there is a need for a better understanding of tha benefits and costs of regulatory requirements.
We have asked our staff to conduct a study to identify particular changes that, consistent with our responsibilities under the Atomic Energy Act, would bring our procedures and practices more 'in line with Sections 2 and 3 of the Order.
I will keep you informed of the results.
of this study.
Because of NRC's status as an independent agency, we be'lieve that submitting ' rules and regulatory analyses to 0.".3 for review prior to publication would not be appropriate.
As an alternative to prepublica-tion clearance, we note.that OMS is free to review and coment on any public NRC rulemaking action.
We will consider CM5 views, as we have' in
.the past...along with other public coments and a;ency views.
Sincerely, I$0 C

OFFICE OF TH E VICE P R ESIDENT w^s s N OTon March 25, 1981 MEMORANDUM FOR TF.E HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DI?ARTMENTS AND AGENCIES SU3 JECT:
Consolidation of Regulatory Oversight
~
President Reagan has made regulatory relief one of the top priori' ties of his economic policy.
He has asked me,.as Chairman of the Fresidential Task Force on Regulato.m.f Relief, to take clear, constructive, and decisive action to restrain Federal regulation and to improve the regulatory process.
Throush Executive Order 12291, issued February 17, 1981, President Reagan has directed the Director of the Office of Manageme.at,and Budget, subject to the direction of'the Task
~
Force, to coordinate Executive branch regulatory policies.
This approach renders unnecessary the Regulatory Council, established by President Carter in 1978 as part of his efforts to gain cor.".rol over the regulatory ~ agencies.
To avoid duplication of Task Force efforrs and to ensure consistent direction to the agencies, the Presiden,t has directed me to disband the Council effective immediately.
One major activity of the Council has been to publish, at least every six months, a unified " Regulatory Calendar" describing.the goals and anticipated ef fects of major regulatione under development.
This is a useful effort which will be continued under the auspices of the Of fice of -Management and Budget.
I recuest that you continue to participate in this project and to provide the information which will'be recuested.
