CHAIRMAN -

February 27, 1987 The Honorable Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Senate Washington, D. C. 70510

Dear Senator Moynihan:

Thank you for your letter of February 10, 1987 commenting on the proposed rule which the NRC staff recently forwarded to the Commission for its consideration.

That proposal calls for a change in the Commission's emergency planning rules.

It addresses those rare instances in which a state or local government elects not to participate in the emergency planning process for a nuclear power plant.

It provides that non-participation would not necessarily oreclude issuance of an operating license to the plant.

Under the proposal a utility plan would be evaluated against a series of acceptance criteria, including the existence of measures designed to compensate for the non-participation of the-state or locality in the planning process.

The Commission determined on February 26, 1987 to issue the proposed rule for public comment.

Your letter, as well as others which we have received from elected public officials, will be given careful consideration.

Your letter will be placed in the record of the rulemaking.

Sincerely,

'l 0
