SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR PROPOSED ABNORMAL OCCURRENCES AND "OTHER EVENTS OF INTEREST" ITEMS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL YEAR 1999 The purpose of this memorandum is to request your assessments and write-ups for events which may be reportable as abnormal occurrences (AOs) and "Other Events of Interest" items for the first quarter of fiscal year (FY) 1999.
Please assess each AO event you submit to ensure that each one is based on the AO criteria that were included in the FY 1997 AO report to Congress and published in the Federal Register (April 17,1997:62 FR 18820). For each AO write-up, please follow Management Directive MD 8.1, " Abnormal Occurrence Reporting Procedure."
In addition, please review and submit applicable events for Appendix C based on the new guideline provided by the Commission in the SRM dated September 4,1998, on SECY-98-175,
" Proposed Guidelines for Appendix C, Other Events of Interest, to the Abnormal Occurrence Report to Congress"(see Attachment 1). In your response please include a brief discussion on the merits of including these proposed events or groups of similar events.

Please remind your staff of the Commission's direction in the SRM on SECY-96-193,
" Implementation of Section 208 Energy Reorganization Act of 1974; Final Policy Statement,"
which stated, "The staff should file incident information on potential AOs in the public document rooms (PDRs) as soon as possible. In following this direction, the staff should place already existing documents on these incidents in the PDRs and identify the incident as a ootential AO."
Direct any questions about the AO reporting criteria, the name of your AO coordinator if it has changed, and your write-ups of events to Harriet Karagiannis (301-415-6377 or e-mail address HXK) by March 5,1999.

SUBJECT:
STAlb REQUIREMENTS - SECY-98-175 - PROPOSED GUIDELINES FOR APPENDlX C, "OTHER EVENTS OF INTEREST," TO THE ABNORMAL OCCURRENCE REPORT TO CONGRESS The Commission has disapproved the staffs recommendation to pursue Option 1 and the other 9800019 options presented in the subject paper. Instead, Appendix C should be retained using the criteria described below to identify events considered for inclusion in Appendix C. When forwarding draft Abnormal Occurrence reports to the Commission for review and approval, the staff should briefly discuss the merits of including each event in the report. The Commission will exercise its collegial prpcess to determine which events are included in the final Abnormal Occurrence report.
8700108 The staff should use the following criteria when considering events for inclusion in Appendix C :
Appendix C may include, but not necessarily be limited to, events that do not meet the Abnormal Occurrence criteria but have been perceived by Congress or the public to be of high health and safety significance, have received significant media coverage, or have caused the NRC to increase its attention to or oversight of a program area, or a group of similar events that have resulted in licensed materials entering the public domain in an uncontrolled manner, cc: Chairman Jackson Commissioner Diaz '
