Dear Mr. Chairman:
NRC has sent to the Office of the Federal Register for publication the i
enclosed Draft Policy Statement on the Restructuring and Economic Deregulation of the Electric Utility Industry. This policy statement discusses the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) expectations for, and intended approach to, its power reactor licensees as the electric utility industry moves from an environment of rate regulation toward greater competition. NRC is concerned that rate deregulation and disaggregation resulting from various restructurings involving its power reactor licensees could have adverse effects on the protection of public health and safety.
The Commission is issuing the draft policy statement for public comment.
Sincerely, lp. '_J---
