bFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS ANNUAL
SUBJECT:
Dating back to the mid 1980s, the Office of intemational Programs was responsible for providing the Commission with a twice yearly report on all activities. This
- Semi-Annual Report
- requirement remaked in effect until 1996, when the Commission granted OIP's request to,
submit a single annual report. In 1997, noting the confluence of substantive information, reporting periods, and timing of submission. OIP requested that the Commission allow the material which OIP prepared for inclusion in the NRC Annual Report to also be forwarded separately to the Commission to fu!fillits Commission-mandated annual reporting requirement.
This request was granted. and in January 1998, OlP provided its chapter for the NRC FY 97 Annual Report to both trie 0C10 and to the Commission (Attachment 1).
Subsequent changes in the NRC Annual Report required OlP to reduce its submissions for FY 97 a.,d FY 98 to summary accounts without expansive details. A copy of the FY 98 section on NRC's international activities is at Attachment 2.
In addition to providing the Commission an annual written summary of intomational setivities.
OlP has in recent years provided the Commission With an annual briefing, including substantial background matortals as handouts.
Upon review, it appears,that summary information in'the current abbreviated format of the NRC Annual Report may not be sufficient to keep the Commission Informed of NRC's intomational f
3 program. However, a single, deftrftive summary of NRC's international activities can be I
achieved in an annual OIP briefing, with incluelve back round handouts for year long reference.
3j0) 0 Staff notes that the last briefing to the Commission on infomational activities was Au0ust 1997 SECY iriforms OlP that the next scheduled briefing is tar 0eted for Mey 1999.
OIP recommends conductm0 a single annual briefing with current reference materlate that will be tracked by SECY and discontinuing its separate annual written report to the Commission.
OIP will continue to provide summary material fo'r inclusion in the NRC FY Annual Report, as required by the 0010 in the abbreviated formet. Hearing no ob}ection. OlP will proceed with this approach.

Chairman Jackson's Comments on COMSECY 99-012:
I approve the OIP-recommended approach for providing the Commission periodic information on international activities. I agree with Commissioner Dieus that OIP should provide the Commission in advance with a proposed outline for its annual briefing, to ensure that areas of Commission interest will be covered.
