ie Meeting Minutes Meeting on 2/5/87 re C ffice of. Special Projects The following items were discussed and agreed upon during the meeting:

.- OSP will be implemented promptly (next week) and will be fully ,

operational by 3/1/87. Existing systems of. connunication/ notification will remain in effect until changed fonnally. The TVA Senior Management Team will'be dissolved effective 3/1/87.

. With the exception of Hugh Thompson, individuals presently detailed to TVA and Comanche Peak work will continue in their- roles until relieved by the Director, OSP. Every effort will be made to free up those.

Individuals designated for supervisory positions in the reorganization as early as possible --- but' not later than 4/15/87. The Director, OSP, will work out with other Office Directors / Regional Administrators exchanges of individuals presently assigned to TVA and Comanche Peak work, if needed.

Additional people, over that presently authorized, will be assigned on an as-needed basis. _

. While it will be appropriate and acceptable to task certain work ~ to the Program Offices / Regional Offices (e.g., Operator Licensing exams), that approach should be the exception rather than the rule. OSP will be held re:;ponsible by the EDO for the quality of work NRC performs in connection j with TVA and Comanche Peak and, therefore, OSP should arrange to have  ;

individuals detailed from other offices when needed in most instances. 1

. OSP personnel will be assigned to the reactor sites as needed. Keppler will have office space at field locations, HQ, and Region III. Ebneter J and Grimes will have office space at field locations and HQ. All OSP HQ  :

staff will be consolidated into one location.

. The purpose of establishing OSP, along with the office's goals and objectives, need to be carefully articulated. OGC should be consulted in this effort.

. An OGC attorney will not be assigned to OSP. The attorneys assigned to the Comanche Peak hearing will work closely with OSP.

. OSP will be dissolved when the problems associated with TVA and Comanche Peak have been resolved or there is a well conceived plan for implementation.

Individuals assigned to OSP at the time will be guaranteed a comparable position in the agency.
