MEMORANDUM TO: James M. Taylor Executive Director for Operations FROM: David L. Morrison, Director /s/ Joseph A. Murphy for Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research

SUBJECT:

INITIATION OF A RULEMAKING PLAN TO REVISE 10 CFR 72.82(E) - BY ELIMINATING 30-DAY LIMIT In accordance with rulemaking procedures specified in Management Directive 6.3, RES intends to develop a rulemaking plan to revise 10 CFR 72.82(e). The regulation imposes a 30-day delay for the loading of spent fuel intc, an ISFSI following the completion of preoperational testing.

The staff considers the extent of this time delay to be excessive and unnecessary because the NRC has inspectors looking at the acceptance criteria and test results in real time. The staff will propose shortening or removing this requirement.

This effort was not included in your May 10, 1995, memorandum to the Commission listing rulemaking activities. We propose making this rulemaking activity Category I, rules and petitions being planned, high priority.

We will submit the rulemaking plan for your approval when it is developed.
