SUBJECT:
RECONSIDERATION OF SECY-99-017 *('M]pdStB*AhEdDhEEid * *" '
4 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 delay the ongoing 10 CFR 50.55a rulemaking effort in order to pursue elimination of the 120 month ISI and IST program update requirement. The ACRS has reised fundamen hl 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 requiremeat in a separate rulemaking, if we pursue it at all.
SECY-99-017 clearly dia not capture the possibility that ACRS would oppose this effort.
SECY. please track.
