Armey Majority Leader House of Representatives The Honorable John Kasich Chairman, Committee on the Budget House of Representatives The Honorable Dan Burton Chairman, Committee on Government Reform and Oversight House of Representatives The Honorable Bob Livingston Chairman, Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives Subject: Results Act: Observations on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Draft Strategic Plan On June 12, 1997, you asked us to review the draft strategic plans submitted by the Cabinet departments and selected major agencies for consultation with the Congress as required by the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (the Results Act). This report is our response to that request concerning the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). NRC faces significant challenges as it begins to plan for its future. Many nuclear power plants are cutting costs to stay competitive in the face of deregulation. The safety consequences of these actions will likely result in NRC's reassessing its regulatory program in the future. Furthermore, an aging nuclear industry is challenging NRC'S ability to ensure that adequate funds are available for decommissioning plants that have closed prematurely. Finally, the prospect of NRC'S assuming oversight over the Department of Energy's (DOE) laboratories and weapons plants would dramatically affect NRC'S resources, structure, and strategies. Obj ectives, Scope, We agreed to review NRC'S draft plan and assess (1) whether it fulfills the and Methodology requirements of the Results Act and provide our views on its overall GAO/RCED-97-206R NRC's Draft Strategic Plan Page 1
