HEMORANDUM T0:

Commissioner Rogers Commissioner Dicus Commissioner Diaz Commissioner McGaffigan FROM:

Shirley Ann Jackson A

SUBJECT:

COMSECY-96-063; PUBLIC COMMUNICATION INITIATIVES (DSI 14)

In providing the Commission's Final Views on Public Communication Iniatives (DSI 14), I support inclusion of a statement that provides our objective in public communication, consistent with the Draft Strategic Plan before the Commission, that is, to " Build Public Trust and Confidence."

In fulfilling this objective, I support the Commission's Preliminary Views on Public Communication Initiatives (DSI 13) as Final Commission Views, with the following additional comments:

General public outreach is important and may become even more so as we consider moving high-level radioactive waste to a centralized interim storage facility or repository, and begin to expand our responsibilities for oversight of DOE facilities.

General public outreach should be pursued as resources allow. The development of a plan to implement the Commission's final decision on this DSI should include performance goals and measures to assess the effectiveness of the program, consideration.of the ' experience of the private sector and other public agencies, and consideration of.the comments received suggesting improvements in existing practices.

~

In addition, the ED0 should consider the comments concerning the 2.206 process in the ongoing review of this process.
