OFFSHORE POWER SYSTEMS, Dkt. No. STN 50-437
Dear Mr. Denton:
On October 6, 1978, the NRC published in the Federal Register the attached Compliance with E.O.
11988 on Floodplains.
In it the NRC stated that pending completion of new regulatory guides, the NRC staff will include floodplain considerations in individual licensing reviews.
Would you please identify what steps the Staff will be taking to comply with this directive in the OPS proceeding?
In particular, please explain how conditional approval of estuarine, riverine and barrier island siting for FNPs is consistent with the flood-plain policy articulated in E.O. 11988.
Sincerely, g.
