Dear Mr. President:
i As you requested, the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission will l
endeavor to comply with the provisions of Executive Order 12861 and the related memorandum on Streamlining the Bureaucracy, both signed on-j September 11, 1993.
By its terms, Executive Order 12862, also signed on September 11, applies to agencies which " provide significant services directly to the public".
4 As an independent regulatory agency, our services are directed primarily j
to those we license and regulate, and the public is an indirect benefi-ciary of our services. Nonetheless, you may be assured that we will l
endeavor to conduct all our business at a level which matches or exceeds i
the clearly expressed objective of the Executive Order.
i Sincerely, whw Ivan Selin l
