[11:30 a.m.]
CHAIRMAN JACKSON: Good morning ladies and gentlemen.
This is an Affirmation Session. We have two items to become
before us this morning. Do my fellow Commissioners have any
opening comments? If not, Mr. Hoyle, would you lead us through
the items for affirmation?
SECRETARY HOYLE: Certainly. The first item is
SECY-96-172. This paper contains a final rulemaking which
revises Part 20 of the Commission's regulations to (1) provide
assurance to EPA that future emissions from NRC licensees will
not exceed dose levels that EPA has determined will provide an
ample margin of safety, and (2) provide EPA a basis upon which to
rescind its Clean Air Act regulations as defined in Part 61 of
its rules for NRC licensed facilities other than power reactors
and Agreement States licensees, thereby relieving these licensees
from unnecessary dual regulation. All of you have approved
publication and implementation of this rule. Can I have an
affirmation?
[Chorus of ayes.]

SECRETARY HOYLE: The second item is SECY-96-214. In
this paper, the Commission is being asked to act on an order
concerning certain proposed minor decommissioning activities at
Yankee Rowe. This action is necessitated by Yankee Atomic
Electric Company's letter of September 30, 1996, listing minor
decommissioning activities it intends to commence on October 15.
All Commissioners have approved the order directing that Yankee
not undertake the activities described in its September 30 letter
pending further Order of the Commission. May I ask you to affirm
your votes?
[Chorus of ayes.]
SECRETARY HOYLE: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN JACKSON: Is there anything else to come
before us?
SECRETARY HOYLE: No, there isn't.
CHAIRMAN JACKSON: If not, we stand adjourned.
[Whereupon, at 11:35 a.m., the affirmation session
was concluded.]
