Dear Governor List:
In 1976, the Nuclear Regul'atory Commission (NRC) adopted recommendations suggested by State organizations, including the National Governors' 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' communication channel between the States and the NRC; is the key person in the State to keep the Governor infonned on regul'atory 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.
Dr. Ralph DiSibio, Director, Nevada Department of Human Resources, was the appointed State Liaison officer to the NRC. We understand Dr. DiSibio has recently resigned from the Nevada Department of Human Resources.
I
)
hope you will consider appointing a new individual to succeed Dr. DiSibio as the Nevada liaison officer to the NP.C.
?
If you have any questions or wish additional information, your staff may wish to contact Wayne Kerr, Director of our Office of State Programs.
His telephone number is 301/492-8170.
We look forward to having a continued close working relationship with Nevada.
k,\\ Sincerely, 3
