Federal Emergency Management Agency. While the judgment as to the overall state of emergency planning and preparedness is for the NRC to reach, in keeping with the longstanding Memorandum of Understanding between FEMA and the NRC, it would not be appropriate for us to precede FEMA In assessing the draft report and its significance relative to offsite matters. Thus, while we have initiated a review of the draft report to understand its conclusions and their factual underpinnings, we are communicating with FEMA to ensure a coordinated and comprehensive evaluation within our well-established regulatory framework.

The NRC will work with FEMA and other Federal agencies, as well as Entergy, New York State, and County officials, in continuing efforts to enghen 6%ergency planning and preparedness. We understand from our discussions with FEMA that its assessment of the most recent offsite emergency planning exercise, which will give due consideration to input from the Governor, will be issued in the next several weeks. The NRC, in turn, intends totbe- (

.reparedte' promptly respond to matters warranting action.

Sincerely, Richard A. Meserve
