Dear Mr. Floyd:

Thank you for your assistance in ascertaining what PRA and_ re' lated-programs-are currently ongoing or planned with the licensees and industry. -As you are-aware, we are committed to ensure that licensee's and industry's perspectives are recognized so' that a consensus is developed, to the extent possible, of -

the Regulatory Review Group's findings.

In developing our recommendations-regarding the utilization of pRA in providing-additional flexibility in the.

regulatory process, we feel.it is essential that we be cognizantiof current and planned programs. We are, therefore, interested in the scope, structure and time frame of any related program.

The areas and topics of. interest'to us.

are provided.in the enclosed Table 1.

In addition, based on available literature and the recent ANS conference in Florida, it appears there are-several innovative programs currently in place (or--planned); however, the-details of the programs are not known. This list is provided in the enclosed Table 2.

Based on our schedule, we would require this information; by March ?2,1993.

Please call me if this time frame is not workable.

Thank you for your assistance.
