Dear Mr. President:

S U.S.C 801 (Act), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is submitting a revision of the NRC's i

Enforcement Policy. This revision makes adjustments to the Policy approved by the Commission based on a review of our experience in the two years since the previous major revision. This revision also incorporates the changes to the Policy that were previously
