I emphasize the need for the staff to focus their efforts on the implomontation of the recommendations which will result in the greatest safoty bonofit, since NRC and HRC licensons have limited resources and the task force recommended extensivo improvements.
Where possible, consideration should be given to the use of performanco-based regulations. In addition, when reviewing existing regulations, consideration should be given to the identification and possible deletion of unnecessary regulations, reporting requirements, etc.
It is the licenson's responsibility to improve safety. I suggest the staff consider ways to ensure licensees periodically perform self-assessments of the safety of their operations.
It is not clear that there will be a continuing nood for team assessments. The staff should give this issue careful consideration before making a final decision.
Tho staff should recognize the nood for consistency in terminology betwoon officos (i.e. NMSS and NRR) as it progressos in the development of guidance and the definition of HRC expectations for licensees in performing " hazard" analysec.
Prior to development of a program for periodic licensoo evaluation by NRC, the staff should determine if this type of program iu necessary or oven feasible considering the diverse nature of the licenscos involved. If this type of program is necessary, careful consideration should be given to the lessons learned from the current SALP process used for reactors.
The staff should ensure that activities which are going on in parallel (e.g., the regulatory impact survey) are factored into the Staff Action Plan.
