August 13, 1999 CHAIRMAN The Honorable Stephen Horn, Chairman Subcommittee on Government Management, Information, and Technology Committee on Government Reform United States House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515-6143
Dear Mr. Chairman:
In resoonse to your request of May 20,1997, I am enclosing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) August 1999 quarterly rep"rt on the Year 2000 (Y2K) problem as submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). As previously stated in the j
February 1999 Y2K quarterly status report, the NRC completed its Y2K Program on February 5, 1999. This status is restated in relevant sections of the enclosed report, which is the first to be submitted under OMB quar 1erly Y2K status reporting guidance as revised for this period.
l in this report, the NRC staff has presented additional information about our Business Continuity and Contingency Plan (BCCP), as well as coordination of the Continuity of Operations Plans being prepared in response to Presidential Decision Directive 67, " Enduring Constitutional Government and Continuity of Government Operations." The staff has also included revised cost information reflecting a $2.5 million reduction in NRC's Y2K Program expenditures. This reduction was mainly due to end-user decisions to retire 55 systems that were initially scheduled for repair. Completion of repairs for all of our systems within a relatively short period was another contributing factor. Although the staff estimates that NRC saved $2.6 million, OMB guidance for this report requires that $100,000 be added to the Fiscal Year 2000 costs to represent the cost associated with BCCP implementation activities. These activities consist of staff hours that will t;e expended regardless of how Y2K affects the agency, primarily in increased staffing levels in NRC's emergency operations facilities, if you would like a more in-depth review of NRC's Y2K Program, the NRC's Chief Information Officer and the NRC Y2K Program Manager will be pleased to meet with members of your staff at your convenience.
Sincerely, L
