sg (1 Mr. William J. Dircks Executive Director for Operations U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555

Dear Mr. Dircks:

In accordance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) rule 44 CFR 350, the State of Minnesota submitted its State and associated local plans for radiological emergencies related to the LaCrosse Nuclear Power Plant to the Regional Director of FEMA Region V for FEMA review and approval.

The Regional Director forwarded his evaluation of the Minnesota State and local plans to me on March 14, 1985, in accordance with section 350.11 of the rule. His submission included an evaluation of the exercises conducted on October 21, 1981, August 3, 1982, and June 19, 1984, and a report of the public meeting held on October 22, 1981, which explained the site-specific aspects of the State and local plans.

Based on an overall evaluation, I find and determine that the State and local plans and preparedness for the LaCrosse Nuclear Power Plant are adequate to protect the health and safety of the public in that there is reasonable assur ance that the appropriate protective measures can be taken offsite in the event of a radiological emergency. However, while there is a public alerting and notification (AAN) system in place and operational, this approval is conditional on FEMA's verification of the A8N system in accordance with the joint Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)/FEMA criteria in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-l, Rev. 1, Appendix 3 and FEMA-43, "Standard Guide for the Evaluation of Alert and Notification Systems for Nuclear Power Plants".

Sincerely, Samuel W. Speck Associate Director State and Local Programs and Support
