\\.....,o CHAIRMAN B. John Garrick, Chairman Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555
Dear Chairman Garrick:
Subject:
- Comments on the 1998 Strategic Plan and Priority issues for the Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste This responds to your letter dated December 23,1997 that provided a copy of the Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste (ACNW) Strategic Plan. I would first like to thank you for providing me the opportunity to comment on your Strategic Plan. I have two general comments.
First, I commend you for linking your goals to the goals, strategies, and substrategies in the
. NRC's Strategic Plan. The NRC's Strategic Assessment and Rebaselining Initiative was intended to provide a sound foundation for the agency's direction and decision-making for the rest of this decade and into the next. Linking your goals to that of the Ager!cy's will ensure that the ACNWs priorities will facilitate the NRC accomplishing its priorities in the area of nuclear waste.
Second, although the ACNWs Strategic Plan provides direction for your activities, the Strategic Plan should also contain a set of clear metrics so that you can measure the effectiveness of your Strategic Plan in focusing the ACNWs activities on its priority issues. Your goals do contain objectives which could be viewed as an open set of metrics, however, these objectives are too subjective to be a useful metric. A'though the majority of your goals are high concept and do not easily lend themselves to measures, thought should be given to providing metrics for those for which it is possible, such as areas of timeliness in providing advice to the Commission and the staff.
Again, thank you for providing me an opportunity to comment on your Strategic Plan.
Sincerely, Shirley Ann Jackson
