IN RESPONSE, PLEASE
REFER TO: M970113B

January 15, 1997

The Commission approved a direct final rule which amends 10 CFR Parts 2, 40, 70, and 76 to bring these regulations into conformance with the new statutory requirements of the USEC Privatization Act. The Commission also approved an associated revision to the NRC Enforcement Policy (NUREG-1600).

The staff should inform the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water of this final rulemaking. In implementing these changes, the staff should communicate with and obtain the executive branch views on USEC privatization issues, particularly on the privatized-USEC entity's role as the executive agent for the U.S.-Russia HEU agreement in determining whether the USEC meets the three criteria in the statute which are now incorporated in 10 CFR 40.38 and 10 CFR 70.40.

On page 22, in § 2.205 Civil Penalties, the Deputy Executive Director's title should be changed to "Deputy Executive Director for Regulatory Programs." Conforming changes to reflect the new EDO reorganization should also be made, as needed, throughout the document.

Following incorporation of these changes, the Federal Register notice should be reviewed by the Rules Review and Directives Branch in the Office of Administration and forwarded to the Office of the Secretary for signature and publication.
