UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 November 26, 2018 Nathaniel Smith, M.D., MPH Director of Health and State Public Health Officer Arkansas Department of Health 4815 W. Markham Street Little Rock, AR 72205
Dear Dr. Smith:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) uses the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) for the evaluation of Agreement State programs. Per our previous discussion, I will be the team leader for the followup IMPEP review of the Arkansas Agreement State Program scheduled for May 21-23, 2019. The review team will include Randy Erickson, NRC Region IV, and Vanessa Danese, State of Texas.
Enclosed is the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program Questionnaire. The questionnaire was previously provided to Bernard Bevill electronically on November 13, 2018. I ask that you send your responses via e-mail to michelle.beardsley@nrc.gov by May 6, 2019. I previously sent the questionnaire in advance of this IMPEP review scheduling letter, in order to provide time for you to allocate the staff resources necessary to complete the document by the requested date. I encourage you to use electronic documents and provide them in advance of the review to the extent possible, to allow team members to better prepare for the onsite review.
Also included with the questionnaire is the document Materials Requested to Be Available for the On-Site Portion of an IMPEP Review. We encourage States to have the items listed prepared prior to the IMPEP teams arrival.
I request that you set up an appointment with the appropriate State Senior Managers to discuss the results of the IMPEP review of the Arkansas Agreement State Program on May 23, 2019.
If you have any questions, please call me at 301-415-0275.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Michelle Beardsley, Health Physicist Agreement States Programs Branch Division of Materials Safety, Security, State, and Tribal Programs
