I The Commission has approved the staffs recommended approach to the issues raised in the l subject paper. The staff should move to implement the NRC's deliberate misconduct rule as a matter of compatibility category C, whether by rule or other legally binding requirements which meet the objectives of the deliberate misconduct rule. With respect to the need for determining the compatibility category of employee protection rules, the staff should survey and discuss the issue with the Agreement States and appropriate organizations and provide an opportunity for public comment on this issue.
Prospective Agreement States should be requested to submit documentation of State conflict of interest and ethics regulations or procedures applicable to those portions of the State radiation control program covered by the Agreement.
The staff should coordinate w;th the Agreement States to determine whether they can provide the NRC with information on State actions to prohibit individuals - licensed or unlicensed -
from involvement in licensed activities for the purpose of sharing such information. The staff should consider the feasibility of adding relevant Agreement State information to the compilation of information on NRC actions currently available on the NRC Home Page.
