Commissioner Comments on SECY-01-0209

Commissioner Dicus

I would like to commend the International Council and staff for their efforts in developing a framework that stresses the alignment of the NRC's international involvement with the appropriate goals and objectives of the Agency's Strategic Plan, and which also recognizes that implementation responsibility should be factored into, and carried out in accordance with, individual Program Office Operating Plans. I believe that the proposed framework and general guidance largely addresses my previous issues and concerns with respect to Program Office Operating Plans, foreign travel funded by outside sources, and resource participation. I also believe that it provides the appropriate mechanism for carrying out the responsibilities outlined in Management Directive 9.14. and for keeping the Commission well informed in a timely manner.

Additionally, in the last sentence of item 4., located on Page 4 of the "Framework for International Activities," the word notified should be changed to ratified.

Commissioner Merrifield

The staff should modify Section C, Additional Priority-Setting Considerations, to include a discussion which allows for early, efficient Commission notification of, and involvement in, policy issues consistent with Management Directive 9.4 and the Staff Memorandum dated September 4, 2001 (M010814).
