(GENERIC LETTER 92-07)

This is to inform you that, effective October 4, 1992, the Office of Nuclear ReactqprRegulation (NRR) was reorganized. The new organization better aligns management of technical activities within the Associate Director for Inspection and Technical Assessment (ADT), transfers some functions to the Associate Director for Projects (ADP), and transfers the responsibility for conducting environmental reviews from ADP to the Associate Director for Advanced Reactors and License Renewal (ADAR).

Some Senior Executive Service (SES) positions have been realigned. The number of technical divisions remains at six. Responsibility for generic activities, event followup and standard technical specifications has been realigned from ADT to ADP. The organizational change includes realigning six branches, creating a new branch, and consolidating environmental functions into a single branch level organization. Individual assignments and tasks are essentially unchanged. The new NRR organization chart which depicts the new structure and manager reporting relationships is enclosed.

This generic letter contains no information collection requirements and therefore is not subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of

4, The purpose of this Generic Letter is to inform you that, effective October

1992, the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) was reorganized.

Although the previous NRR organization was basically sound, some organizational realignments were needed to more effectively provide for the Office's dual focus role in the oversight of operating reactors and the review of advanced plant and license renewal activities.

The reorganization has realigned a number of NRR branches and reportin relationships, but individual assignments and tasks are essentially uchanged.

The organizational change includes realigning six branches, creati 'a new branch, and consolidating environmental functions into a single anch level organization. The number of technical divisions remains at si Responsi- bility for generic activities, event followup and standard t nical specifications has been realigned from the Associate Direc for Inspection and Technical Assessment (ADT) to the Associate Director or Projects (ADP).

The new organization better aligns management of technifl activities within ADT, transfers some functions to ADP, and transfers tpit responsibility for conducting environmental reviews from ADP to the As ciate Director for Advanced Reactors and License Renewal (ADAR). So Senior Executive Service (SES) positions have been realigned. The new NRP organization chart which depicts the new structure and manager reportin relationships is attached.

The organizational change will provide sign icant benefits and enable NRR to conduct its mission more effectively by: onsolidating certain functions within individual divisions for more eff ctive resolution of technical issues and conduct of reviews, improving coor nation of efforts to oversee operating plants, and yielding a better alignm t between headquarters and field activities.
