Special Counsel for Public Liaison and Agreement State Programa ( bk

SUBJECT:

RUT,EMAKING PLAN USEC PRIVATIZATION ACT (PUBLIC LAW 104-134)

The Office of the General Counsel believes that this rulemaking .

plan should, at the minimum, present to the Commission an option of implementing the USEC Privatization Act changes by direct final rulemaking. Because the changes are dictated by statute and are unambiguous, they are unlikely to prompt adverse, comment.

Although-we believe that the agency would not ae abnolutely prevented from implementing some of the statutory changen before

.the rules are changed, it is desirable to achieve the rule changes as quickly sa posoihle, and we believe direct final.

rulemaking would be the most efficient way to proceed. With this modification, plan.

OGC would have no legc1 objection to the rulemaking cci C. Paperiello J. Lieberman 9710090115 971003 PDR PR
