1 Commissioner Dicus Comments to SECY-96-249 l
1.
I concur with Cmr. McGaffigan's comments. In addition, I also believe that the Chairman's initiative to examine regulatory improvements in the area of exemptions was needed, and was beneficial.
2.
I agree that the exemption review process as described in the paper should be retained, insofar as it closely mimics that of the established review and approval process.'or license amendments, and to the extent that the process remains a staff activity. I believe that the granting or denial of Exemptions is purely Staffs responsibility, and these determinations should not be influenced by, or involve, the Commission, as a general practice.
i In addition, the review process for exemptions should be formalized and documented.
