The Honorable Morris K..Udall, Chairman Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment Committse on. Interior and Insular Affairs <

United States' House of Representatives Washington, D. C. 20515 t

Dear Mr. Chairman:

Pursuant ~to Section 236 of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) hereby submits -

a statement on the actions that have, are being, or will be taken with regard to the recommendations.made by.the Comptroller General - .

of the United States in a report entitled, "Before Liceasing

- f Floating Nuclear Power Plants, .Many Answers Are Needed."

The responses to these recommendations, which are ermDsed,- were -

prepared by the NRC staff with no prior review'or comment by the Commissioners. .This approach to satisfying the requirements of the above-referenced statute was' deemed appropriate under the unusual circumstances present in this matter. . Many.of,the points.

raised.in the.GA0. report requiredan NRC response which involved a discussion of' issues that are. presently 'oeing litigated in a contested on-the-record'public hearing on the. application of the Offshore Power Systems for an NRC manufacturing license for float-ing nuclear power plants. Because the rulings and decisions on those ' issues by the presiding Atomic Safety and Licensing Board will very likely come before the Commissioners for review in connection with their adjudicatory responsibilities, it would not.

be appropriate for the Commission to comment on these issues at this time. t Sincerely, E

-(stgoed) Lee V Gowief e

Lee V. Gossick ,

Executive Director for Operations 1
