-STATEMENT Of WORK SC&A, inc',
Contract NRC-04-90-070, Task 4 RULEMAKING SUPPORT TOR DECOMMISSIONING 0F NUCLEAR FACILITIES OBJECTIVE The Regulatory Analysis Section within the Regulation Develupment Branch (RDB) has been approached by the P,adiation Protection and llealth Effects Branch to develop a Generic Environmental Impact Statement and-regulatory analysis for a rulemaking on timeliness in the decommissioning of materials-f acilities, As a first step in developing these documents, we will need an Options Paper for the rulemakir.g and an annotated outline of the GEIS.
The Commission's regulations need,to be revised to codify the basic principles and criteria which would allow residually-contaminated lands'and. structures to be released for unrestricted public use, in the final rule on General' Requirements for Decommissioning Nuclear facilities (53 FR 2418) dated June 27 1988, the need and urgency for guidance with respect to residual contamination criteria was expressed. At that-time,'it was anticipated'that an interagency working group organized by the Environmental Protection Agency would develop g

I necessary Federal Cuidance.
However, in the absence of significant progress by the interagency working group, the Consnission has directed the t#:C staff to expedite a residual radioactivity rulemaking because the requirements, once final, will provide licensees with an incentive to complete site decommissionings.
The rule would codify the basic principles and criteric expressed in the
<nticipated Commission policy Statement _ on Exemptions from Regulatory Co.'t rol.
Measurables, in the form of surface and volume radioactivity cont 7ntrations and site radioactivity inventory values would be provided in supporting regulatory guidance. The rule should provide a risk-based framework upon which deconmissioning activities and license terminations can be accomplished.
The framework sheuld assure adequate protection of public health and safety and identify residual radioactivity criteria upon which licensees can confidently develop reasonable and responsible decommissioning plans.
WORK TO BE PERFORMED AND EXPECTED RESULTS
/
Task 1 The contractor shall prepare an options paper which clearly defines the problem to be addressed, discusses the, advantages of alternative methods for dealing with the problem, select an alternative if appropriate, discuss the rationale for alternative selected, and describe the expected regulatory product or alternative regulatory products.
This description should clearly C8/30/90 2

(
delineate the scope of each product (i.e., what it would cover and what it would not cover).
It should include key requirements or provisions of the proposed regulation. Preliminary estimates or analyses of the impact (e.g.,
costs) on licensees and the benefits (e.g., increased safety) of v:rious options under consideration should be included. The time and effort needed to-complete-the rulemaking effort should aise be included.
A key item is the description of the expected regt.latory product. Flowever, care must be taken to make it clear that this' is only a preliminary description based on the best thinking of the staff given the present state of knowledge and wculd likely change as a result of feedback during review and discussions or based on more detailed regulatory analyses which must precede J
develcpment of the actual regulatory product. The content and purpose of _ this
-l options paper are discussed in an April 6,1990 memorandum from. James C. Malaro i
to Bill M. Morris entitled " Plan for Development of Early Consensus on Regu latory Products."
l Task 2 The contractor shall prepare a detail'ed annotated outline of the subjects to be covered in the Generic Environmental Impact Statement which will be developed to support the rulemaking. As part of this task, the contractor l
t shall identify the important issues to be addressed and discuss how they will-j be handled in the GEIS.
