MEMORANDUM TO: Luis A. Reyes
Executive Director for Operations
FROM: Annette L. Vietti-Cook, Secretary /RA/
SUBJECT: STAFF REQUIREMENTS - SECY-06-0065 - OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS ON DECOMMISSIONING FUNDING ASSURANCE

The Commission has approved the staff recommendation that no changes are needed at this time with regard to verification of trust balances by trustees or requirements for specific investment restrictions on decommissioning trust funds. The staff should provide to the Commission a more detailed discussion of decommissioning trust fund balance and investment oversight activities conducted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, State Public Utility Commissions, and other organizations, as appropriate. If necessary and agreeable to the aforementioned organizations, the staff should hold a public workshop with these organizations to collect this information. The staff should provide a discussion of these oversight activities along with recommendations for further Commission action, if appropriate, no later than the next Commission paper summarizing decommissioning funding status reports for nuclear power reactors.

In the future (circa 2011) when more cost return information is available, NRR should review the formula used for decommissioning funding requirements and adjust it, if necessary.
