The Honorable Donald Paul Hodel Secretary of Energy Washington, DC 20585
Dear Mr. Secretary:
Thank you for your letter of June 9,1983 informing me of your intent to establish an advisory panel to assist you in the study required by Section 303 of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act.
Early in your process of establishing an advisory panel we voiced a concern that the proposed charter for the panel did not provide for keeping NRC abreast of the panel's progress. This concern has been resolved in subsequent staff discussions and we have been extended the opportunity to have an NRC observer attend the advisory panel meetings. I am pleased with this arrangement and believe that it will afford us the appropriate means of following the panel's progress and will enhance our ability to consult with you promptly on completion of the advisory panel's report.
In regard to the scope of NRC involvement with this study, we intend to limit our area of consultation to the examination of potential impacts on NRC regulatory responsibility which may flow from any recommended alternative management proposal.
I look forward to a meaningful exchange in the coming months.
Sincerely, .
Nunzio J. Palladino Chairman

Section 303 of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (P.L.97-425) requires the Department of Energy (006) to study alternative approaches to managing tne construction and operation of all civilian radioactive waste management facilities, including the feasibility of establishing a private corporation for sucn purposes. 00E must suomit a Report to Congress by January 7, 1984, which will include a thorough and objective analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative approach.
In accordance with the statute, the study shall be conducted in consultation with the Director of the Of fice of Management and Budget, the Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and otner appropriate Federal Agency representatives. I wish to inform you of an action I have taken to assist in the development of this study.
I am establisning, with the concurrence of the Committee Management Secretariat of the General Services Administration, an Advisory Panel on Alternative Means of Financing and Managing (AMFM) Radioactive Waste Facilities.
I am considering nominations of persons with appropriate capabilities and background to serve on the AMFM Panel, which will consist of approximately ten members. Panel members will be selected from a cross-section of interested persons and groups. ' Participants will need expertise in the areas of utility regulation; utility operations; public administration and management organization; corporate financing; law; State / local governments and Indian nations; public interest / consumer groups; nuclear industry' operations; and Federal / State legislatures.
I am having a notice published in the Federal Register. After a 15-day waiting period, a Charter will be filed with the i
appropriate standing committees of Congress and the Library of Congress.

SUMMARY
On July 22, 1983 we received for comment a copy of the draft background material that DOE's Sec. 303 contractor, the Human Affairs Research Center (HARC), had pulled together for the AMFM Panel Members to review prior to their meeting. I called Paul Goldberg (OPE) to find out who was handling this for the Chairman:
Dan Garner returned my call. He made three points:
(1) the Chairman's office expects 'NMSS to provide the NRC observer for the AMFM meetings (2) the Commission should be kept informed of what transpires at the meetings (3) the Commission will be involved in the consultation role, not just the Chairman. ,
