MEMORANDUM FOR:
James Liebennan, Director-l Office of Enforcement:
l i
FROM:
Stewart D. Ebneter i
Regional Administrator j
SUBJECT:
STUDY OF EFFICIENCY OF NUCLEAR MATERIALS-SAFETY INSPECTION-1 AND EiiFORCEMENT PROCESS, JAMES'LIEBERMAN MEMORANDUM, i
DATED 8/1/90 l
l We have reviewed your memorandum of Aug%t 1, 1990, concerning-the above subject and provide the following comments.
l We encourage and support your efforts to promote. efficiency ~ of 'the Nuclear Materials Safety inspection and enforcement process.
We believe the enforce-le.g. process could be expedited by minimizing the review time at 'all" levels ment 3
The use of-the standard citations-recently.
l provided by OE is a'first step in this process.
As more experience is gained j
in the enforcement area, this set of standard citations,should-be expanded.-
i
,We understand that the Regions may be' authorized to issue escalated enforcement
~
actions to materials licensees -without prior-review by Headquarters..This would improve timeliness and also reduce Regional resource requirements to some l
extent.
We recognize it will also impart greater responsibility to the-l Regional Offices for enforcement consistency; in that regard, participation by-J OE representatives in enforcement conferences - and-panels will be' even more important than in the past.
In your memo to me you also requested that we complete a,. matrix [ showing.
resource expenditures on regional materials' inspection and enforcement resources.
Provided as an enclosure are 'our estimates: of these. resources expenditures.
Please be e. ware that these estimates are our best approximation since we do not keep ex0ct records of the time spent-on.the various stages'of the enforcement process.
~
g We appreciate the opportunity to comment on this matter.. if youLhave'any questions, please let-me know.
