SUMMARY: The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board published

315(e) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2286d(e) 
requires the Department of Energy to transmit an implementation plan to 
the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board by February 25, 1995, or

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Thomas P. Grumbly, Assistant Secretary for Environmental

    Issued in Washington, DC, on February 24, 1995.
Mark B. Whitaker,
Departmental Representative to the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety 
Board.
The Honorable John T. Conway,
Chairman, Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, 625 Indiana 
Avenue NW., Suite 700, Washington, DC 20004 [[Page 13426]] 
    Dear Mr. Conway: This is to advise you, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 
2286d(e), that the Department of Energy will require an additional 
45 days to respond to the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board 
Recommendation 94-3, regarding seismic and systems safety at the 
Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site.
    The Department recently made some management changes at the 
Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site. Because of these changes, 
and the need for the development of acceptance criteria for safety 
adequacy and systems for identifying facility upgrades, more time is 
necessary to respond. In addition, the Department believes that it 
is necessary to integrate its response to Recommendation 94-3 with 
Recommendation 90-5, (Systematic Evaluation Program). The 
Implementation Plan for Recommendation 94-3 will be provided to the 
Board by April 10, 1995.

        Sincerely,
Hazel R. O'Leary.
