. Commissioner Merrifield's Comments on SECY-98-274: Comed's Proposal to Centralize its EOF at its Corporate Offices Commissioner Merrifield approves Option 2 as recommended by the staff. The staff should closely monitor the licensee's transition to a centralized EOF to ensure emergency response capabilities are not diminished. Once implemented, the staff should monitor the licensee's ability to meet the centralized EOF staffing requirements in a timely manner and ensure that communication and coordination between the licensee, public, as well as State, County, and Federal agencies are not adversely impacted by Comed's centralized EOF approach. The Commission should be promptly informed of significant problems related to the ability of parties to carry out their emergency response responsibilitica that are directly related to Comed's centralized EOF approach.
The staff has indicated that approval of the proposal will likely result in an influx of proposals from othe r licensees in similar situations. As stated by the staff in the Paper, there are particular circumstances of the Comed proposal that are unique. Thus, approval of this proposal should not be interpreted by the staff as the Commissioner Merrifield's support of the centralized EOF approach in all cases. The staff should carefully review proposals from other licensees on a case-by-case basis to ensure that emergency response, communication, and coordination are not adversely impacted by the proposals, i
