SUBJECT:

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN Il IVgiTIGATIONS/

INSPECTIONS AND ADJUDICATIONS j (SECY-84-276/276A)

The Commission has adopted a Statement of Policy on the procedures to be followed in resolving the potential conflict between the duty to disclose information to adjudicatory boards and parties and the need to protect information obtained in investigations and inspections.

However, because the in camera procedures being adopted are a departure from normal Commission practice, the Commission believes it would be desirable for them to be implemented through a rulemaking.

Accordingly, the Commission requests that you implement the procedures in the Policy Statement through a rulemaking.

You should proceed to issue a proposed rule (based upon the i policy statement) for comment and prepare a final rule for Commission consideration following analysis of the comments received. Should you need additional guidance in pre-paration of the proposed rule (beyond the Policy Statement) you should consult with the Commission.

COMMENTS:

Recommendations: (1) Agree with the proposed rule, but without the amendments to the rules concerning sanctions against NRC employees if they violate terms of the protective order. (2) Do not issue the draft staff requirements memorandum in Enclosure 2.

Neither the sanctions against NRC employees for the disclosure of information which is the subject of a protective order nor the staff requirements memorandum in Enclosure 2 which concerns sanctions against the staff for any unauthorized disclosure of information were included in the. Commission guidance to the staff on 9/12/84 (copy attached).

I believe those matters should be considered separately. I see no reason why NRC employees should be singled out for possible sanctions. The representatives of others who may be involved in the proceeding may also, without authorization, disclose information. If we are going to have a rule, it should cover all concerned.
