%..w.**j JAN1 1 dd MEP.0RANDUM FOR:
Edward S. Christenbury Director & Chief C6unsel Hearing Division, NRC FROM:
Harold E. Collins Assistant Director for Emergency Preparedness Office of State Programs
SUBJECT:
YOUR MEMORANDUM 0F 1/4/80 CONCERNING MR. HERBERT BROWN I have spoken to the two professional staff personnel, who along with myself, were assigned the emergency planning and preparedness program in the NRC's former Office of International and State Programs, when Mr. Brown was the Director of that office.
We have also looked through our files and found the enclosed documents concerning California emergency planning, one of which is signed by Mr. Brown and others are addressed to him.
The emergency preparedness function assigned to the NRC's former Office of International and State Programs at the time Mr. Brown was our Director, was to carry out NRC's Federally assigned " Lead Agency" role among Federal agencies, to provide guidance, training and assistance to States and local governments in the development of their radiological emergency response plans and to review and concur in the adequacy of such plans.
The regulatory review of licensee emergency plans resided, and still resides, in the Offices of Nuclear Reactor Regulation and Nuclear Materials Safety and Safeguards. Mr. Brown and the Emergency Preparedness Staff of the Office of International and State Programs had no responsibility to rcview licensee plans.
The State of California received an NRC concurrence in its radiological emergency response plan on August 15, 1978, which was long after Mr. Brown's departure from NRC. NRC's personnel office advises me that Mr. Brown was the Director of the Office of International and State Programs between January 20, 1975 and September 5,1975. Mr. Brown was also Director of the AEC's Office of Government Liaison-Regulation, the precursor to the NRC's Office of International and State Programs, between April 4,1975 and January 20, 1975.
