UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 April 14, 1980 Honorable John f. Ahearne Chairman U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Cormnission Washington, DC 20555
SUBJECT:
REORGANIZATION PLAN NO. 1 of 1980
Dear Dr. Ahearne:
It is the understanding of the ACRS that the Commission will be providing comments to t'he Congress in the near future regarding the proposed re-organization of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission under Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1980.
The Committee offers the following convnents regarding this plan, as it impacts on the activities of the ACRS, for consideration in the preparation of applicable Commission conments.
Section l(b)(2) provides that the Chairman of NRC *shall also initiate the appointment of Members of the Advisory *committee on Reactor Safeguards*
as well as other specified officials of the NRC staff and the Chairmen of the Licensing and Appeal Boards.
Inasmuch as the ACRS will continue to report directly to the Commission, under Section 4(d) of the Reorganization Plan, we believe that it is inappro-priate that appointment of members of the ACRS be subject to the provision proposed in Section l(b)(2) of the reorganization plan.
For the above reason, we recormnend the deletion of Section l(b)(2), and continuation of the existing method of making Committee appointments under Section 29 of the Atomic Energy Act.
s~J.~
