,E JAN 3 1980 MEMORANDUM FOR:
Robert G. Ryan, Director Office of State Programs FROM:
Robert W. DeFavette Emergency Preparedness, OSP
SUBJECT:
JOB PREFERENCES With respect to the tasks which must be done between now and June 30, I see no mention of any training courses.
However, as you indicated in the meeting on Wednesday, January 2, I will still plan to present all of the courses that are now scheduled between now and the end of June.
This includes the one planning course in Kentucky ( I cancelled the Arizona course) and five Radiological Emergency Response Coordinator's courses.
With regard to my other preferences, I would prefer to work on those tasks relating to training FEMA and RAC personnel, on the Education and Information Program, on the ANS meeting in San Antonio, and in setting up a Public Advisory Committee on Emergency Planning.
Since these subjects are all related, either directly or indirectly, to training, and since Shirley is quite familiar with this area, I would suggest that serious consideration be given to assigning her full time to these activities.
This will be quite a burden by itself because in addition to the six courses which I have scheduled, there are also nine courses scheduled at Las Vegas during the same time period.
I would also like to comment on the Arizona class cancellation.
It is true that Palo Verde is not scheduled for fuel loading until some time in 1982.
However, if you will recall, Frank Young and I went out to Pho? nix to testify at a joint legislative hearing last fall and as a result of those hearings there is a bill to be introduced by Mr. Barr (Chairman of the joint committee) at the January session of the f.rizona legislature, which describes the emergency responsibilities of Arizona agencies and tasks the lead agency to have a first draft of a plan (with a progress report) to the Governor by the end of calendar year 1980 (you are also aware that the Governor is Bruce Babbitt, a member of the Kemeny Commission). Because of 1817 112 8001280 Q%
a these events, all of the agencies in Arizona which will be involved are now chomping at the bit and talking to each other.
The course in February was to be the formal introduction into the business so they can meet the deadlines of the proposed bill.
I would therefore ' uggest that we reassess s
our cancellation, especially in view of the fact that the Arizona officials involved are not too happy with the cancellation.
