Subject:

Commer's'to SECY 90-347, " Regulatory Impact Survey Report" a

Gentlement-On December 27, 1990, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission pub 1 phed in the Federal Register, (55 FR 53220) a notice of availability of SEC1 90-347,-

" Regulatory Impact Survey Repnrt". The Federal Register solicited vritten comments from interested parties regarding the proposed corrective actions 3

' presented-in the SECY paper. Tcledo-Edison, owner / operator of-t.he Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, and subsidiary of Centerior Energy

- Corporation appreciates the opportunity to. comment as an. interested party.

'As--n 10 CFR Part 50 li asco, Toledo Edison h's a vested interest.in any a

jpolicies the Commission may cdopt that-have he potential to affect the 2

management and operation of:a commercial nuclear power plant.

Toledo Edison's comments.are reflec+ed in comments which are being submitted

, : on the industry's behalf: by the Nuclear Management and Resources Council (NUMARC)-'and'the< Nuclear Utility Backfitting and Reform Group (NUBARG).

Toledo Edison endorses ~the comments.provided by NUMARC and NUBARG.

jl one additional area that Toledo Edison vould like to provide comment on-concerns the NRC staff's priority ranking. system for the management of

licensing.revievs.

In 1988, the NRC staff developed and implemented a priority ranking system for the management of licensing reviews.

This system assigned priorities on the basis of safety significance, operational effect, and statutory responsibilities.

In 1989, in an effort to reduce the

-growing _ backlog of licensing activities, the Staff completed a study of the i

backlog and established timeliness goals for the residence time of l

licensees' requests. The effort to-reduce this backlog has taken precedence I

j

]

over the prioritization system established in 1988.
