y Commissioner McGaffiaan's Comments on SECY-99-148 I approve Option 3. Central to Option 3 is the development of the " Generic Aging Lessons Leamed (GALL)" report, which will be referenced in the Standard Review Plan (SRP). At the Commission meeting on July 13, I stressed how important it is that all stakeholders be fully involved in the process of finalizing the SRP and GALL report, especially if they are to be the avenue for resolving the 109 generic issues which have i
been identified by the staff.
I I believe that we need to leam from the success of our efforts at stakeholder involvement in the new oversight process and apply those lessons to the process for resolving generic license renewal issues. I would recommend that when the GALL report and SRP are issued in draft for public comment, workshops be held to bring all interested stakeholders up to date. I would recommend that the Commission be involved by holding a Commission briefing after the comment period and the staff's initial evaluation of the comments (as we have done on the oversight process, the Part 35 rulemaking and the 50.59 rulemaking). I can envision the need for focused public meetings between the staff and stakeholders to resolve comments on individual issues.
As Mr. Lochbaurn pointed out, all public comments need to be addressed. I believe that the final GALL report and final SRP should be submitted to the Commission for approval. A Commission briefing by staff and stakeholders would be appropriate at that time before final Commission action. If we fe!!ow this course, we will gain the confidence of our stakeholders even if we ultimately end up disagreeing with some of their comments. The license renewal process is too important to follow anything but best practices in stakeholder involvement.
