June 7,1999 OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER MEMORANDUM TO:
Commissioner Diaz FROM:
Greta Joy Dicus d
L o
SUBJECT:
COMNJD-99-003, A ITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR RESOLUTION OF SECY-98-300 AND SECY-99-133 I have considered the concerns you raised in your memorandum, and the proposed activities you feel are necessary to resolve those concerns. However, based upon my understanding of the issue at hand, I do not share the same concems, and therefore, suggest that the additional staff evaluations and briefing which you propose, at least for my benefit, are not necessary. We are close to completion of consideration of the SRM for SECY-98-300. I support prompt completion of action on both SECY-98-300 and SECY-99-133.
The Commission has been moving toward risk-informing Part 50 for quite some time now, in a very deliberate, careful and thoughtful manner. Numeroue interactions have taken place between staff, external stakeholders, ACRS, and the Commission. It was through those interactions that much consensus and convergence were achieved. The progress that has been achieved to date with respect to direction of the Maintenance Rule, as reflected in SECY-99-133 has also been significantly influenced by your insights.
I personally have benefitted from discussions with you on this subject, and ironically, it is a result of those past discussions which causes me to disagree with your proposition that additional considerations must be explored before the agency can go forward re!ative to risk-informing the Maintenance P.ule and eventually, Part 50.
