.the responsibility for reactor related inspection programs from the-current Office of Inspection and Enforcement. NRR will also assume i

responsibility for reactor safeguards programs from NMSS. Many of the functions of the current Division of Safety Review and Oversight will 3

i be transferred from NRR. _The respon'sibility for the resolution of generic safety issues, including Unresolved Safety Issues, wil1 be l

assigned to the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES). -The i

review of full scope Probabilistic Risk Assessments (PRA) will be assigned to RES.

i 5.

NMSS will be focused on the day-to' day licensing, operational safety and safeguards and inspection of materials licensees, fuel cycle l_

facilities and waste management. NMSS will assume responsibility for the non-reactor inspection programs from the current Office of Inspection and Enforcement. NHSS will assume the responsibility for 9

the agreement states program from the current Office of State Programs and for import-export licensing from the current Office of l

International Programs.

6.

RES will continue to carry out the essential confirmatory research program. Additionally, RES will assume the responsibility for resolution of generic safety issues and for review of PRAs from NRR.

RES will also have a lead role in conducting all rulemaking. RES will 4

be responsible for developing the regulatory products for the NRC.

RES will be _ rededicated to coupling research programs to needed regulatory products..RES will be fully accountable for delivery of

~

relevant and timely regulatory products.

7.

A new Office of Personnel reporting to.the EDO will be establisheo, It will assume'the responsibility for the organization, personnel and training functions of the current.0ffice of Administration. The responsibility for the. technical training program will be transferred to this office from-IE. -

8.

A new Office of Administration and Resource Management will be established.

It will assume responsibility for the remaining functions of the current Office of Administration, the functions of the Office cf Infonnation Resources Management and the functions of the Office of Resource Management.

9.

The role of the Deputy Executive Director for Regional Operations and Generic Requirements will be revised. The position will become the Deputy Executive Director for, Regional Operations (DEDRO). The responsibility for the management of the Committee to Review Generic Requirements will be transferred to AE00.

In_ addition, the day-to-day headquarters management, oversight and coordination of regional activities will be enhanced by having the DEDR0 assume a more direct role in regional operations. The Regional Administrators will report to the EDO through the DEDRO. The 'ifice of Enforcement will report to the DEDRO.

l-I Finally, Chairman Zech proposed the. establishment of a new Office of Congressior.al, Intergovernmental and Public Affairs which would report to I

the Chairman. This office would be the combination of the Office of Congressional Affairs, the Ofi' ice of Public Affairs and the liaison /

l spokesperson parts of the Office of State Programs and the Office of 1

International Programs.. This office would be responsible for our relation-l ships with Congress, state and local governments, international bodies, the i

public and the media. This new office would provide a needed focus for the

- agency for all its external relations.

It would also provide centralized management of all those functions relating to the agency's "spokesperson" role. A consolidation of these functions into a single office reporting to i

the Chairman will improve the quality and timeliness of information and liaison with the agency's counterparts.and those it serves.

The purpose of the proposed reorganization is to better accomodate the j

changed nature of the agency's mission and workload through a more 'e'ffective and efficient organizational structure. The mission of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has shifted from evaluation of construction permit and operating license applications to the regulation of a maturing operational industry.

In 1975, when the NRC was formed, there were 69 plants under construction i

pending operating license review and 75 applications for construction

'i permits.

In the decade since its formation, the NRC has issued 52 operating licenses, and has seen a number of applications withdrawn. Thus, today, -

there are only 19 plants still undergoing active OL review and no pending construction permit ' applications. As the last several plants presently being built are completed, the NRC will have progressively less regulatory concern with large complex construction activities and considerably more involvement with plant operations, maintenance, life extension and similar issues. Up to this point, however, the structure of the agency has not evolved to reflect the shift in mission, and the need for both different and differently deployed resources.

The new organization will focus the major program offices on the day-to-day safety of operational facilities, with concentration on both the responsibility and accountability for our safety programs. The Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) will be responsible and accountable for the licensing, inspection and safeguards programs for reactors. The Office of Nuclear Materials Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) will have the same focused responsibility and accountability for non-reactor programs.

Functions that are not clcsely related to day-to-day operational activities will be transferred to other offices.

In both NRR and NMSS, a special organizational unit will be established reporting to the office director to focus a'nd prioritize management attention and resources on appropriate programs and issues.

This approach will. provide the managers of our r'ograms greater capabilities to address, analyze and resolve operational safety issues. The clear focus of NRR will be reactor operational safety, and the clear focus of NMSS will be non-reactor licensee operational safety, safeguards and waste management licensing. Previously, several offices might have been involved in a single operational safety issue. Now, such an issue will be addressed by the sole cognizant program office and the responsible Region. Previously, licensing activities and inspection for operational facilities were separate.

-4,

!}-

i Now, they will be combined with a close linkage and a single responsible and accountable director. Agency strengths in licensing and strengths in

. inspection will reinforce each other. Overall, this restructuring should enhance.the agency's capabilities to assure the public health and safety.

In addition, resource savings should. result from improved productivity, elimination of overlap, and consolidation of program support activities.

(The FTE savings from this proposal are consistent with the FTE reduction

{

reflected in the FY88-89 proposed budget).-

)

The proposed reorganization is intended to enhance the safety of N C r

licensed facilities, especially operating reactors, as well as to enhance l

the confidence of the public Congress, and other governmental entities in the capabilities and performance of the NRC. It will enhance our ability to analyze plant performance and assure that management attention is i.

devoted to significant issues. Specifically, it will afford the i-opportunity to focus our resources and to monitor performance at al.l. plants to identify early signals of deteriorating performance.

It will allow the realignment of staff expertise into a structure more suitable to the regulation of an operational industry and can be accomplished within the authority provided by existing legislation.

It will unencumber resources necessary to resolve generic issues; it will improve accountability for agency actions and enhance uniformity throughout the agency; and it will l

achieve increased efficiencies in a time of decreasing resources. The

^

overall result will be improved efficiency and greater responsiveness to operational safety concerns, achieved with fewer resources. In sum, the proposed reorganization will accomplish'several important objectives necessary to accommodate the changed nature of our mission and workload.
