-1 I Hi Randy, I spoke with Rick Urban about the request for NRR's concurrence on these letters last week. I indicated to Rick that NRR would follow the normal process for "3-week E-mails" in response to 01 case findings...
the exception being that Region I had asked for an expeditious review (i.e., within one or two days). The normal process is for the 01 case to be summarized by the Regional Enforcement Coordi.,ator and distributed to the NRR Enforcement Coordinator (as well as others in 01, OE and OGC) via email with the following statement at the end: "if no other viewis are received within 3 weeks of the date of this e-mail, the aforementioned letters will be sent."
For the Salem/Hope Creek letters, NRR has no reason to believe that the wrong conclusions have been reached by 01. Therefore, no "differing view" has been expressed. However, NRR is not normally asked to concur on these types of letters; in my view, this was no exception.
So, NRR is not withholding its concurrence. Rather, it is refraining from expressing an "other view," in accordance with the established process. I informed NRR management of the pending letters last week, for their information (attached), and copied Rick Urban.
Sorry for any confusion this has created in Region I.

I'm hearing, indirectly, that NRR may be withholding concurrence....these are important Agency actions that include a major comm plan, and i would therefore think we are much better prepared to go forward if we are all together on this. Do we need to slip tlhe schedule?
could one of you call and fill me in? i'm at 610-3,37-5229.
