Dear. Assemblyman Yevoli:
.i I have received your letter of May 5, 1989, and I appreciate your invitation to appear at the May 18 hearing of the Assembly's Standing Committee on Commerce, Industry, and Economic Development.
However, the subject matter of-the hearing -- the economic.c i m p a c t.~.o fo t h e s e_t t l e me n ti a g re e m e n t e
between thesLongilslandXtighting0Companyaand*the'-Statekof New Yor.k to close the Shoreha'm~n'Uclear'hower plant -- is outside.
thle. jurisdiction of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
Under the terms of the Energy Reorganization Act;of 1974, the NRC's authority is essentially limited to the health, safety and environmental aspects of nuclear power. plant operation.
Promotional responsibilities for nuclear power reside with the Department of Energy.
Accordingly, I do not believe that an NRC representative could make any contribution concerning our l
official functions that would be relevant to the issue to be addressed in the May 18 hearing.

& W.
