QUESTION 2.

An estimate of the number of exempted practices that might be authorized pursuant to the BRC policy.

i ANSWER.

j The answer to Question 1 identified' examples of specific practices that the Commission might decide te exempt from some or all regulatory controls.

While it is not possible to estimate with any precision the number of

{

requests for exemptions and the number of prt.ctices that might-be exempted under the BRC policy, we have no reason to believe that the need to make such j

decisions will cease or decrease in the near future. We have made a planning estimate that one new petition for exemption will be received in each of the next 5 years. On this basis, between 0 and 5 new exempted practices might be authorized pursuant to the BRC policy by 1995.

Of course, we will adjust our resource allocations accordingly if the number of new petitions actually l

received is higher or lower.

Further, the Commission intends to define practices broadly, and thereby limit the poter.tial for cumulative exposures from multiple exempted practices, i
