essential reactor safety and protective measures data over these networks.

Region'II Incident Response Team procedures have called for NRC staff to assume communication responsibility.on these networks when sufficient NRC staff arrived onsite.

However, the Region II Incident Response Teams, including the Resident Inspector, will no longer provide a. primary communicator for the ENS and HPN at-'your..

Emergency Response Facilities (Emergency Operations Facility Technical Suppo'rt Center, or Control Room).

Licensee responsibility to man these two positions will now continue even after NRC~ staff arrives onsite.

NRC wi_ll still provide ENS 'and HPN monitors for the Incident Response Team at your Emergency Response Facilities. The bases for this change are outlined below:

a.

10 CFR 50.72(c)(3) requires that each licensee, during the course of an event, " maintain an open, continuous communication channel with the NRC Operations Center upon request by the NRC."

Thus, the responsibility for communication is the licensee's.
