May 2, 2008 Mr. Ronald Johnson Tribal Council President Prairie Island Indian Community 5636 Sturgeon Lake Road Welch, MN 55089
Dear Mr. Johnson:
This is in response to your April 14, 2008, letter to Dr. Samson Lee of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or staff) and your request to participate as a cooperating agency in the environmental review for Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) license renewal.
To establish a framework for cooperation and coordination between the NRC and the Prairie Island Indian Community (PIIC), the staff has prepared the enclosed draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which is being provided to you for review and comment. The draft MOU describes the respective roles and responsibilities of the NRC and the PIIC. It also defines the areas of special expertise and information that could be provided by the PIIC to assist the staff in its environmental review.
After mutual agreement to the terms of the PIICs participation in the staffs environmental review process for the PINGP license renewal application (LRA) as described in the MOU and subsequent signature by both parties, cooperating agency status for the PIIC would become effective. To ensure that the MOU can be finalized before the staff completes its acceptance review of the PINGP application, we request your comments by May 15, 2008.
Thank you again for your interest in participating in the environmental review for PINGP license renewal. We look forward to receiving your comments on the enclosed draft MOU and future dialogue with the PIIC. If you need further assistance in this matter, please contact Mr. Tommy Le of my staff at 301-415-1458.
Sincerely,
\\RA Catherine Haney for\\
J. E. Dyer, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
