SUBJECT:
RECONSIDERATION OF SECY-99-017 ' C"PROPOS&P AMENDMENT T6 * * * * * /
In light of the April 19, 1999 letter from ACRS Chairman Dr. Dana Powers to Dr. William Travers (copy attached). I believe reconsideration of SECY-99-017 is in order.
Had I had the benefit of ACRS advice when I previously voted.' I would have voted with Commissioner Dicus not to dclay the ongoing 10 CFR 50.55a rulemaking effort in order to pursue eliicination of the 120 month ISI and IST program update requirement.
The ACRS has raised fundamental concerns about elimination of the 120 month update requirement, which at a minimum will lengthen the proposed rulemaking.
Since there are significant benefits in the currently drafted rule that, as Commissioner Dicus pointed out, is very close to completion. I believe now that we should finish the current rulemaking and pursue elimination of the 120 month program update requirement in a separate rulemaking, if we pursue it at all. SECY-99-017 clearly did not capture the possibility that ACRS would oppose this effort.
