 ----------

The NRC Chairman, Dr. Shirley Jackson, announced on 12/2/96 to NRC
employees, that changes in the upper echelon of NRC management will take
place on January 5, 1997.  It includes the creation of three Deputy
Executive Director positions, reporting to the Executive Director for
Operations.  In addition, she announced the impending retirement of the
current EDO, James M. Taylor, the current Deputy Executive Director for
Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Regional Operations, and Research, James L.
Milhoan, and Region II Administrator, Stewart Ebneter.

The new EDO will be Leonard J. (Joe) Callan, Region IV Administrator.  The
three Deputy Executive Directors are Edward L. Jordan, for Regulatory
Effectiveness, Program Oversight, Investigations, and Enforcement; Hugh L.
Thompson, Jr. for Regulatory Programs; and Patricia G. Norry for Management
Support.  Also, Samuel J. Collins (Region IV) has been named Director of the 

Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

You will see additional details of the reorganization, the result of
"......various self-assessment efforts which the NRC has conducted over the
past year," in the near future.  Consult your friendly regional NRC office
for other details if you are in a hurry.
