1 The Stati.: observcr. in accompanying the NRC inspectors. does so at his or her 0~11 risk. NRC wiU not be responsible for injuries or exposures to harmful substances which may occur to the accompanying mdividual during the inspection and will assume no liability for any incidents associated with the a.:companiment.
The State obsen-er will be expected to adhere to the same conduct as NRC inspectors during an inspection accompaniment.
If the State observer notices any apparent non-conformance with safety or regulatory requirements during the inspections. he' she will make those observations promptly kno'll.'D to the NRC team leader or lead mspector.
Likewise. when overall conclusions or views o:f the State observer are substantially different from those of the NRC inspectors, the: State will advise the team leader or lead inspector and forward those views. i.t1 writing, to the l'i"RC Region. This will allow NRC to take any necessary regulatory actions.
L'nder no circurn;.'tances should State communications regarding these inspections be ri:Ieased to the public or the licensee before they ore reviewed by the ~'RC and the inspection report is issued. State communications may be rnadt: publicly available, similar to NR.C inspection reports, after they have been transmitted to and reviev.--ed by NRC.

The adjacent St:i.tc 51,Q must.:ommunicate ltis.'her request for observation to the Rr::gional Administr:nor for the region in which the facilit'/ is located.
The adjacent State SLO must also com:murl:icate his/her request to the host State SLO so :'hat each State is aware of the other's int<.:ntfons.
lfa host State and an adjacent State request observation of the same i&--p..."Ction. the R,..:gional Admini:.-rrator wil!
