NOTICE OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION AND THE STATE OF VERMONT
Dear Mr. Longtoe Sheehan:
This letter is to inform you that, pursuant to Section 274b. of the Atomic Energy Act (AEA) of 1954, as amended, the Commission on September 6, 2019, approved an Agreement with the State of Vermont. The Agreement is effective on September 30, 2019, and was published in the Federal Register on September 30, 2019. A copy of the Federal Register notice is enclosed with this letter.
Governor Philip Scott, on behalf of the State of Vermont, submitted a request that the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) enter into an Agreement with the State under Section 274 of the AEA. The proposed Agreement, along with a summary of the NRCs assessment of the proposed Vermont program, was published for public comment in the Federal Register beginning on June 25, 2019, for 4 consecutive weeks, as required by Section 274e. of the AEA.
We also sent you a letter dated June 25, 2019, which enclosed the first Federal Register notice, 84 FR 29811; June 25, 2019, inviting public comment. All documents related to the Vermont Agreement can be accessed through the following page on the NRC website:
https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/state-tribal/agreement-states/vermont.html.
In SECY-19-0085 Section 274b. Agreement with the State of Vermont dated August 29, 2019, the NRC staff responded to the public comments received on the proposed Agreement and draft staff assessment. The NRC staff assessment concluded that the Vermont program for the regulation of Agreement materials is adequate to protect public health and safety and is compatible with NRCs program. The final assessment for the Vermont program can be found in the second attachment to SECY-19-0085.
Under the Agreement, the State has assumed regulatory authority over the responsibility of byproduct material as defined in Sections 11e.(1), 11e.(3), and 11e.(4) of the AEA, source material, and special nuclear material in quantities not sufficient to form a critical mass in the State. As such, the State of Vermont is now the regulatory authority over the academic, medical, industrial and commercial licenses authorized to use byproduct, source and special nuclear materials at 36 academic, commercial and medical facilities across the State.
R. Sheehan 2 Licensing actions taken by the State of Vermont are now subject to the States environmental and historic preservation laws, not federal laws such as the National Environmental Policy Act or the National Historical Preservation Act. The NRC continues to regulate the use of radioactive material at federal facilities within the State and the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant.
The NRC staff will conduct periodic reviews of the Vermont program using the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program to ensure that the terms of the Agreement continue to be met.
If you have any questions, you may contact Duncan White at (301) 415-2598 or Duncan.White@nrc.gov.
