OFFKE OF THE e...e.ee COMMISSIONER January 23, 1997 MEMORANDUM TO: Chairman Jackson Commissioner Dicus Commissioner Diaz commissioner McGaffigan FROM:
Commissioner Rogers h.
SUBJECT:
COMSECY-96-062: ROLE OF INDUSTRY, DS.',-13 After a review of the Phase II Stakeholder Interaction Report and after listening to the Steering Commi ttee briefing on January 13, I am in substantial agreement with the Commission's preliminary views, and recommend that they be adopted.
I believe that Option 1,
continuing the current program, will result in sustainable progress.
The staff should continue to evaluate initiatives proposing further NRC reliance on industry activities as an alternative for NRC regulatory activities.
Option 4, increasing interaction with industry and professional groups, should also be pursued.
As noted in the Commissien's preliminary views, this i
could be particularly fruitful with regard to standards development in the probabilistic risk assessment-and medical use areas.
The staff should carefully examine whether' greater use should be j
made of all available codes and standards (not just ASME and IEEE j
standards) in our regulations and regulatory guides, and whether the intent of Public Law 104-113 13 being fully addressed in all of our regulatory requirements and guides.
I note that Option 5, use of a " designated industry representative" has generated little enthusiasm, and I recommend that we drop it from consideration.until a change in circumstances seems to warrant reconsideration.
This Direction Setting Issue is obviously closely related to DSI-11, Operating Reactor Program Oversight, and DSI-12, Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Regulation.
The staff should ensure that implementation plans developed for these issues are mutually compatible and do not create duplicate activities. [CM -
