Docket No. 50-285

SUBJECT:

Coments on General Electric Company (GE) and Westinghouse Electric Corporation (Westinghouse) Petition for Rulemaking (Docket No. PRM-30-59)

Omaha Public Power strict (OPPD) has the following coments on the petition for rulemaking published in the Federal Register on September 25, 1991 (56 FR 48445). In this petition, GE and Westinghouse requested that the NRC amend the decomissioning regulations contained in 10 CFR Parts 30, 40, 50, 70, and '/2 to provide a means for self-guarantee of decomissioning funding costs by certain NRC licensees who meet stringent financial assurance and oversight requirements.

Electric utility reactor licensees under 10 CFR Part 50 are not included in this petition. It is OPPD's position that any decomissioning regulations should apply to all licensees equally and that compliance alternatives contingent on licensee financial status and size should also be available to utilities.
