Blaha Commissioner May 26,1998 MEMORANDUM TO:
John C. Hoyle Secretary f
' FROM:
Edward McGaffigan, Jr.
SUBJECT:
EDO MEMO DATED APRIL 9,1998 REGARDING AN SRM 1
DATED AUGUST 21,1997 (COMSECY-96-028) AND THE ACMUI l have reviewed the self-evaluation criteria developed by the Advisory Committee on the Medical Uses of Isotopes in conjunction with the staff and offer the following comments for the staffs consideration.
The memorandum states that "the staffs evaluation will include an observation concerning if the ACMUI is effective in proposing solutions to problems as opposed to simply raising new,
{
unresolved questions." This statement implies that new, unresolved questions raised by the (q
ACMUI may be of little value to the staff. While I agree that it is desirable and more efficient for A
the staffif ACMUI proposed solutions for every problem identified, this is not always possible. I would also argue that it is equally important for the ACMUI to feel free to raise new, unresolved questions since its members bring their day-to-day experiences in the medical community to the table for discussion and consideration by the staff.
I offer the following edits to the current questions in the attachment to the EDO memorandum:
Question 2 should be edited to add the word, " objective," after the word, "useful."
Question 6 should be edited to add the phrase, "all elements of," after the words, " issues from."
I also offer three additional questions for the self-evaluation criteria:
Does the Committee consider current resource constraints of the NRC when recommending new or enhanced regulatory programs?
Does the Committee make effective use of subcommittees to assist the staff on specific tasks or projects?
Does the scope and size of th3 Committee meet the current needs of NRC7 Finally, the self-evaluation criteria should be periodically re-evaluated by the staff and the ACMUI to ensure that it is effective in evaluating the performance of the Committee.
