Background:
(a) On June 21, 1986, the Comission published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (51 FR 22531) containing requirements for notifica-tion in the event of bankruptcy involving licensees. Specifically, the amendments require each licensee to notify the appropriate regional office of the NRC, in writing, in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition involving the licensee. A licensee would not be affected by these amendments unless and until a bankruptcy petition is filed.
The purpose of the amended regulations is for NRC to have means in place so that it is alerted and can take necessary action to deal with potential hazards to the public health and safety that may be posed by a licensee that does not have the financial resources to properly handle licensed radioactive material or to clean up possible contamination.
During the public comment period, eight comment letters were received.
Five of the letters expressed strong support for the proposed rule based to a large extent on problems which the commenters had experienced with bankrupt licensees. 'The other three letters contained specific coments which are discussed and resolved in the Supplementary Information to the Final Rule (Enclosure A).
Based on the public coments received, there are no changes to the rule text except those of an editorial nature.
An earlier draft of the enclosed paper was circulated for Division level comments September 9, 1986. Division comments received were editorial or for purposes of clarification and have been incorporated into this package.
