Commissioner McGaffigan's Comments on SECY-99-086 I approve the staff's proposals to eliminate the watch list, to eliminate tha recognition of superior performance, and to issue docketed correspondence as a result of the SMM only when the agency's intended actions are different from those conveyed in previous correspondence. during the transition period from 1
the suspended SALP program until the new oversight process is broadly implemented.
However. I do not agree that only agency-focus plants and previous watch list plants should be discussed in the Commission paper written 1
following the April 1999 SMM and at the subsequent public Commission meeting.
~1nstead. I believe that the paper and subsequent Commission briefing should also discuss the regional-focus plants.
Under the new oversight process the j
annual Commission meeting will discuss the performance of all plants and those plants which are agency-focus or regional-focus will be readily apparent.
It would, therefore, be closer to the new process to discuss both agency-focus and regional-focus plants this year.
Further. unless something changes between now and April, there is only one plant. Millstone 2, which is likely to be identified as agency-focus. if I am properly interpreting the criteria..
All other previous watch list plants would meet the criteria for regional-focus or perhaps even routine oversight.
The Ccmmission and the public need to know in 1999 which plants are regional-focus plants as they will in 2000 and beyond.
