i Commissioner McGaffiaan's Comments on SECY-99-063 j
I approve the staff's plans to develop formal guidelines for identifying and implementing voluntary industry initiatives in lieu of, or as a complement to, regulatory' actions.
I agree with'the staff's analysis regarding the types of j
industry. voluntary initiatives that are appropriate for consideration.
I fully support the staff's conclusion that it is inapprop.riate to rely on voluntary' industry initiatives in lieu of NRC actions to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety.
I also share the concerns expressed by Chairman Jackson and Commissioner Merrifield regarding the apparent disconnect between SECY-98-224. SECY 007A.'and SECY-99-063 with respect to the new reactor inspection and i
enforcement processes, and agree that the guidelines should be subject to Conunission review prior to' their implementation.
