SUMMARY
OF PUBLIC MEETINGS ON BELOW REGULATORY CONCERN POLICY
Purpose:
This paper forwards for Commission approval the final NUREG report which summarizes the public meetings held by the NRC staff to present the Below Regulatory Concern Policy Statement and obtain statements from members of the public.
Background:
Following publication of the Below Regulatory Concern Policy Statement in the Federal Register (55 FR 27522),
the NRC published a notice of public meetings to be held in the vicinity of each of the five NRC regional offices.
The meetings were to enable NRC staff members to discuss the policy with attendees, hear statements from the public, and answer questions about the policy.
NRC licensees, Agreement State licensees, government officials, and interested members of the public were encouraged to attend. A brief summary of the public meetings was forwarded to the Commission on October 3, 1990, as SECY-90-339.
Discussion:
During the public meetings held to discuss the Below l
Reguletory Concern Policy Statement, the staff indicated l
that it would prepare a summary of the meetings and make that summary available to members of the public. Each of the meetings was transcribed, and a number of written statements were submitted by attendees.
The staff has developed the enclosed NUREG report which provides the summary of the BRC public meetings.
The NUREG is divided into three sections dealing with the NRC presentations of the policy, the issues raised in the
.Cd((O$
statements made by attendees and NRC responses te those issues, and the questions submitted to the NRC staff during the meeting with the responses provided by the NRC
