c;J#** % UNITED STATES t NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMtsSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 JUN 121985 MEMORANDUM FOR: William J. Dircks Executive Director For Operations FROM: Robert B. Minogue, Director Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research

SUBJECT:

CONTROL OF NRC RULEMAKING: RES REVIEW OF ONG0ING RES SPONSORED RULEMAXING Based on our review of the ongoing RES-sponsored proposed amendment to 10 CFR 50.47 and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E--Consideration of Earthquakes in the Context of Emergency Preparedness, RES recommends that the NRC should proceed with this specific rulemaking. This recomendation in draft form has been

~

coordinated with IE. The basis for our recomendation is as follows.

In the Diablo Canyon full power license decision the Comission stated that it would initiate rulemaking "to address whether the potential for seismic impacts on emergency planning is a significant enough concern for large portions of the nation to warrant the amendment of the regulations to specifically consider those impacts."

This rulemaking is the staff's response to the above Commission decision. The proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on December 21, 1984 and requested public coment on the merits of three possible alternatives:

o Adoption of the proposed rule codifying San Onofre and Diablo Canyon o Leaving the issue open for adjudication on a case-by-case basis o Requiring by rule that emergency plans specifically address the impact of earthquakes.

As a result of public coment the staff is now considering another alternative which would require that the emergency plans include a limited assessment of the complicating effects of severe, low frequency natural phenomena.

The staff is now preparing to recomend to the Comission, based on a thorough i 8601130244 851125 PDR FOIA BELL 85-653 PDR l

William J. Dircks 2 JUN 121985 -

public coment analysis, a final rule which would embrace one of the four ,

alternatives -mentioned.

The complete RES review package has been .sent to OEDO (Attention: DEDROGR) and to the Director IE.
