CUESTION 3.

Analyses that the Commission used in balancing the j

decreased costs resulting from exempting certain practices I

from regulatory controls against the adverse health consecuences specified by Commissioner Curtiss in his Additional Views.

I ANSWER.

e The basis for the ERC policy does not include analyses balancing the potential decrease in costs resulting from exempting certain practices from regulatory controls against the hypothetical health consequences associated i

with exemptions.

Rather the policy provides a risk level below which the l

Commission believes its radiation protection resources and those of its licensees can be better. directed at more important health, safety and environmental concerns.

Below this level, attempts to further reduce the i

small levels of risk associated with an exempted practice are not needed.
