O June 4, 1993 Memorandum For:
B. Faulkenberry, Regional Administrator From:
H. Wong
Subject:
Comments on Draft Region V Realignment Study I have comments on the Draft Study for your consideration:
1.
In the discussion of various options there does not exist an explanation of the method which would be used to select the people that would fill the existing positions. Would Region V people be in the position to fill only the available (open) positions that exist or would the Region V people be able to " compete" for positions now filled by Region IV persennel? inis seems important in defining the expected costs of any realignment in that " competition" for positions would mean mu!tiple moves by Region V and Region IV personnel.
2.
In the discussion of Option 1 (page 29, last paragraph), a significant startup cost that was not mentioned is related to licensee /NRC communication difficulties which would occur during the transition phase.
Also in that paragraph, in addition to " establishing inspector familiarity with licensed facilities" as a startup cost, I would include "NRC manager familiarity" as an issue also.
3.
In the discussion of Option 1 (page 38, middle paragraph), hardships related to " potential moving expenses which are not reimbursable" are discussed. However, these expenses can be substantial as evidenced by several employees in recent moves to Region V and some expenses are not just related to " moving." Some expenses can include those'previously not necessary while employed in the Walnut Creek area, such as new child care expenses.
I would suggest changing the sentence to
"... hardship associated with potential expenses related to a move to a new oeocraphical area that are not reimbursable. Based on ogrsonal experiences wi*h recent moves, unreimbursed expenses related jirectly to movino and travel to the new work location may be substantial (several thousands of dollars).
Similarly, I would suggest a sentence be added to the end of the first paragraph on page 40 "An additional concern is for child care currently provided by relatives (grandparents, sisters, cousins, etc.) by choice or financial necessity would be eliminated."
I appreciate the opportunity to provide my commentt N7
