MEMORANDUM TO: William D. Travers
Executive Director for Operations
FROM: Annette L. Vietti-Cook, Secretary /RA/
SUBJECT: STAFF REQUIREMENTS - SECY-00-0061 - PROPOSED REVISION TO THE ENFORCEMENT POLICY TO ADDRESS THE REVISED REACTOR OVERSIGHT PROCESS

The Commission has approved the staff's recommendation to publish the revised Enforcement Policy, as described in SECY-00-0061. The staff should consult with the Commission prior to the exercise of discretion for "violations associated with findings that the reactor oversight program's significance determination process (SDP) evaluates as having low to moderate, or greater significance (i.e., white, yellow, or red) that are particularly significant."

The staff should provide a recommendation on continuation of consultation with the Commission on this type of enforcement action as part of its report following the first year of implementation of the Revised Reactor Oversight Process.
