ENFORCEMENT POLICY REVISION FOR GRANTING ENFORCEMENT DISCRETION AS A RESULT OF NATURAL EVENTS in a staff requirement memorandum (COMEXM-98-004) dated July 28,1998, the staff was advised that the Commission had approved a change in the policy to allow the staff to grant enforcement discretion in cases involving severe weather without consultation with the Commission, based on the determination that safety will not be impacted unacceptably by
