Governor of Wyoming 9
Cheyenne, Wyoming 82002
Dear Governor Herschler:
In 1976, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) adopted recommendations suggested by State organizations, including the National Governers' Association, for streamlining the siting and environmental review process for nuclear facilities. One recommendation was that the States appoint a single person to act as a liaison officer to NRC to improve Federal / State cooperation. All Governors have responded and we now have 51 State appointed liaison officers - 50 States and also the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
The NRC staff works closely with the appointed State Liaison Officers (SLO) on all aspects of our programs, including transportation of radioactive waste, siting, environmental matters, decommissioning, emergency response, notification and waste disposal. The State Liaison Officer provides a corrmunication channel between the States and the NRC; is the key person in the State to keep the Governor informed on regulatory or emergency matters of interest to the Governor; keeps other State officials informed on regulatory or emergency matters as appropriate to their interests and/or responsibility; and provides information to NRC on State issues.
Mr. Edd Johnson, Chief of the Wyoming Radiological Health Services, was the appointed State Liaison Officer to the NRC. We understand Mr. Johnson has recently resigned from the Wyoming Radiological Health Services.
I hope you will consider appointing a new individual to succeed Mr. Johnson as the Wyoming liaison officer to the NRC.
If you have any auestions or wish additional information, your staff may wish to contact Wayne Kerr, Director of our Office of State programs.
His telephone number is 301/492-B170.
We look forward to having a continued close working relationship with Wyoming.
h Sincerely, g
