- 6. Backaround: This proposed rule is being developed to amend the NRC's regulations relating to financial assurance requirements for the decommissioning of nuclear power plants. This is in response to the anticipated deregulation of the power generating industry. The proposed action would revise the definition of " electric utility" contained in 10 CFR 50.2 and would require power reactor licensees to periodically report on the status of their decommissioning funds and funds for managing their irradiated fuel. Also, the Caff is proposing to allow licensees to take credit for the earnings on decommissioning trust funds. The SECY suspense date is April 21, 1997.
- 7. Resources to implement this rulemaking have not teen included in the Internal Program /Buaget Review FY 1995-1999. Additional resourw s would be required for review of the reports required by this rule. Copies of this concurrence package have been forwarded the Controller for coordi-nat on of resource issues per the ED0 memorandum of June 14, 1991, ACRS, ACNW and the IG for information.
