APR 01 W MEMORANDUM FOR:

Robert B. Minogue, Director Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research FROM:

Victor Stello, Jr.

Acting Executive Director for Operations

SUBJECT:

CONTROL OF,NRC RULEMAKING By memorandum of February 13, 1984, " Control of NRC Rulemaking by Offices Reporting to the EDO," Offices were directed that effective April 1,1984, (1) all offices under EDO purview must obtain EDO approval to begin and/or continue a specific rulemaking, (2) resources were not to be expended on rule-makings that have not been approved, and (3) RES would independently review rulemaking proposals forwarded for EDO approval and make recommendations to the EDO concerning whether or not and how to proceed with the rulemakings.

In accordance with this directive, the following proposal concerning rulemaking has been forwarded for my approval.

Proposal to continue rulemakings, Amendments to 10 CFR Part 50, Chapter I, "With Respect to Employees Who Provide Information," and " Extension of Criminal Penalties," in the form of a single rulemaking.

(Sponsored by RES - memorandum, Minogue to EDO dated February 10,1986.)

Although you recommend that rulemakings should continue in a combined form, I intend to terminate the rulemakings because there does not appear to be a technical need or legal basis for these rulemakings. Because the Comission has directed staff actions concerning this general subject matter, prior to terminating the rulemakings you should prepare, for my signature, a Comission paper informing them that these rulemakings are being ter.ninated. However, since the issue of intimidation and harassment appears to be an ongoing problem at certain nuclear facilities, a rulemaking should be initiated to address this problem as we currently understand it. The rule should be developed in close coordination with IE and ELD and the approach we plan to take should be addressed in the aforementioned Comission paper.

I would like to send the paper to the Comission within 45 days.

The NRC Regulatory Agenda (NUREG-0936) should be modified to reflect this action.
