Not Participating Request Discussion i

l COMMENTS: I approve with the following comments:

l

1. Press releases for open predecisional enforcement conferences should continue r ,

to be worded carefully so as not to prejudge the outcome. They should

! / continue to include an explicit description of the nature of the conference as a predecisional opportunity for the licensee to present any additional material or information before the NRC arrives at a decision.

j 2. If public attendance creates gaps in communication and needed information,

staff should take the necessary additional steps to acquire the needed l information.
3. The Commission should receive a more detailed and earlier explanation of an enforcement action than an EN provides (i.e. , a short memorandum to the

) ./ Commission if not full consultation) if the action is likely to have implications for broader sanctions or invglves issues that have become matters of substantial public interest. J/ , QJM A 3
