%,... /
July 26,1990 The Honorable Don Nickles United States Senate Washington, D. C. 20510
Dear Senator Nickles:
I am responding to your letter of June 27, 1990, which referred a June 7, 1990, letter from your constituent, Mr. L. A. Tharp, of Gore, Oklahoma. Mr. Tharp requested your assistance in ensuring that certain )roposed regulations of the NRC would be amended to protect the due process rig 1ts of individuals.
The NRC has proposed revisions to its regulations which would enable the agency to take enforcement action against non-licensed persons, including individuals and corporations for willfully causing a licensee to violate the Connission's requirements or for other willful misconduct that places in question the agency's reasonable assurance that licer sed activities will be conducted in a manner that provides adequate protection to the public health and safety.
Mr. Tharp has provided comments on these proposed revisions under separate cover to the NRC. These consnents, which raise the same issues that Mr. Tharp has brought to your attention, have been officially received and docketed by the NRC. We have initiated a review of all the public comments received on the proposed revisions, and Mr. Tharp's comments will receive careful consideration in that process.
The NRC takes very seriously its responsibilities for assuring that activities within the jurisdiction of the agency are conducted in a manner that provides adequate protection to the public health and safety, and at the same time comport with statutory and constitutional requirements.
I would like to assure you that any regulations adopted by the Connission will appropriately provide for protection of the rights of individuals who may become the subject of NRC enforcement action.
Sincerely,
/
AG
