Dear Mr. Malone,
Your letter of May 5, 1980 brought to my attention your concerns regarding the emergency planning for the Black Fox Nuclear Power Plant. Please be as-sured that the Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) will not grant an operating license or construction permit to a utility, unless all NRC regulatory require-l ments are met. Requirements for emergency response planning are being revised ic response to recommendations by the NRC/ EPA Joint Task Force on Emergency Planning and the Three Mile Island Lessons Learned Task Forces. A copy of the proposed changes to 10 CFR 50, Appendix E and the NRC's interim criteria for i
FEMA-REP-1 (NUREG 0654) are enclosed. NUREG 0654 is currently used as the basis for determining the adequacy of Emergency Plans.
On December 7,1979, the President issued a directive assigning the Federal Energency Management Agency (FEMA) lead responsibility for offsite emergency preparedness around nuclear facilities. The NRC and FEMA immediately initiated negotiations qp a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that lays out the agencies I
roles and provides for a smooth transfer of responsibilities. Specifically, the FEMA responsibilities with respect to emergency preparedness as they relate'to NRC are:
)
1.
To pake findings and determinations as to whether State and local emergency plans are adequate.
2.
To verify that State and local emergency plans are capable of being implemented (e.g., adequacy and maintenance of procedure.*,, training, resources, staffing levels and qualification and equipment adequacy).
l
". To assume responsibility for emergency preparedness training of State a.ad local officials.
4.
To develop and issue an updated series of interagency assignments which delineate respective agency capabilities and responsibilities and define procedures for coordination and direction for emergency planning and response.

. Since you voiced concern about State planning efforts I have taken the liberty of forwarding a copy of your letter to Mr. Sheldon Schwartz, Acting Director, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Division, FEMA.
I hope this information adequately responds to your concerns.
