January 5, 1980 MEMORANDUM FOR:
Chairman Ahearne Commissioner Gilinsky Commissioner Kennedy Commissioner Hendrie Commissioner Bradford FROM:
Lee V. Gossick Executive Director for Operations
SUBJECT:
TMI ACTION PLAN -- PREREQUISITES FOR RESUMPTION OF LICENSING In response to the Secretary's memorandum of December 28 and the guidance of the Commission at the meeting on December 21, the TMI Action Plan Steering Group has developed a proposed definition of the actions that would be required to be taken before reactor licensing could be resumed.
This memorandum provides that proposed definition and reports on an important initial step in that effort -- the identification of the specific licensing requirements for the near-term operating license applications.
This memorandum and its attached list of near-term OL requirements were presented to and discussed with the Directors of NRR, IE, RES, and 50 on January 4, and they have concurred.
The Executive Legal Director has no legal objections.
The licensing pause has been described previously, but not in the detail now needed.
It was broadly defined by the Commission in its November 9,1979 letter to Dr. Press in the Executive Office of the President.
In providing its analysis and views of the recommendations of the President's Commission, the NRC said in that letter, in part, "NRC has decided that new plants will not be licensed until the required criteria have been developed.
This approach assures that the NRC staff can give the necessary attention to implementation of the changes on-operating plants.
NRC plans to proceed systematically in the following manner:
(1) review and correlate the recommendations of the President's Commission, those of internal lessons learned groups, t a
4 Safeguards, the findings of NRC Sp findings of ongoing Congressional DUPLICATE DOCUMENT other inputs; (2) transrorm the re a statement of goals (i.e., define Entire document previously to be accomplished in each area);

January 5, 1980 MEMORANDUM FOR:
Roger Mattson FROM:
Guy Cunningham
SUBJECT:
THI ACTION PLAN -- PREREQUISITES FOR RESUMPTION OF LICENSING At their meeting on January 4, the office directors were unanimously agreed that Commission approval of the rccommendations of this paper should be obtained before their full implementation.
There was disagreement, however, as to whether that approval should be in the form of a general statement of policy or one or more rules (made immediately effective as appropriate).
OELD believes that the difference between the approaches should be highlighted and the consequences of the choice made clear.
A good discussion of this subject is presented in Pacific Gas and Electric Co. v. FPC (D.C. Cir. 1974) 506 F.2d 33.
In part, the Court saio:
The critical distinction between a substantive rule and a general statement of policy is the different practical effect that these two types of pronounce-ments have in subsequent administrative proceedings.
A properly adopted substantive rule establishes a standard of conduct which has the force of law.
In subsequent administrative proceedings involving a substantive rule, the issues are whether the adjudicated facts conform to the rule and whether the rule should be waived or applied in that particular instance.
The underlying policy embodied in the rule is not generally subfect to challenge before the agency.
A general statement of policy, on the other hand, does not establish a
" binding norm."
It is not finally determinative of the issues or rights to which it is addressed.
The agency cannot apply or rely upon a general statement of policy as law because a general statement of policy only announces what the agency seeks to establish as policy.
A policy statement announces the agency's tentative intentions for the future.
When the agency applies the policy in a particular situation, it must be prepared to support the policy just as if the policy statement had never been issued.
An agenef cannot escape its responsibility to present evidence and reasoning supporting its substar.tive rules by announcing binding precedent in the,-
form of a general statement of policy.
(Citations and footnotes omitted.)
In the present situation, utilization of a policy statement to announce the A
agency's intention to require implementation of the recorraendations of this paper will mean that the proposed requirenent will be a proper subject for litigation in every contested case before the issuance of any permit or license.
OELD believes that immediately effective rules can be promulgated in the same e

2 period of time as a general statement of policy.
Moreover, to the extent that the rules are merely " interpretive" of present regulations, they may be promul-gated,'as may a general statement of policy, without following APA rulemaking procedures.
