July 22,1992 RBG-37230 File No. G9.23.1 U.S. Nuclear _ Regulatory Commission _

- Document Control Desk

' Washington, D.C. 20555 Gentlemen:

This letter provides Gulf States Utilities Company's comments in response to the ,,

Commission's proposed mle regarding reducing regulatory burden on nuclear liceusees, 57_FR 27187, issued for public comment on June 18,1992.

Gulf States Utilities supports the promulgation of this mle. This proposal will help to reduce utility and NRC workload by removing regulatory reporting requirements which established arbitrary reporting dates or had no safety significance. Further reducing unnecessary burden is- the proposal to allow

-licensees to accept back from vendors processed low level waste until final disposition. _

i The specific list of pmposed rules outlined in the June 18,1992 Fedeml Register-fulfill the intent of President Bush's memomndum_ of January 28,1992, entitled --

" Reducing the Burden of Government. Regulation". _ By reducing unnecessary

- regulations, the NRC will help ensure that uti'ities have the resources, both  !

personnel and monetary,- to continue to operate and maintain nuclear facilities and train personnel to'an ever increasing level of excellence. An indirect end-result of this proposal will be an increase in protection for the health and safety of th-public.

GSU commends the 3RC for this effort and other related efforts to move toward a more risk-based regulatory environment, where potential safety significance _is evaluated and considered for regulatory bases.
