Dear Governor Rhodes:
4 to In 1976, the Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) adopted recomendations suggested by State organizations, including the National Governors' Association, for streamlining the siting and environmer;tal review process for nuclear facilities. One recomendation was that the States appoint a single person to act as a liaison officer to NRC to improve Federal / State cooperation.
The Governors of all 50 States and the Comonwealth of Puerto Rico responded favorably to this recomendation and appointed liaison officers.
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, decomissioning, emergency response, notification and waste disposal. The State Liaison Officer provides a comunication 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 ar emergency matters as appropriate to their interests and/or responsibility; and provides information to NRC on State issues.
Mr. William B. McGorum, Secretary, Ohio Power Siting Comission, was the appointed State Liaison Officer to the NRC. We understand Mr. McGorum has recently resigned from the Ohio Power Siting Comission.
I hope you will consider appointing a new individual to succeed Mr. McGorum as the Ohio liaison officer to the hRC.
If you have any questions or wish additional information, your staff may wish to contact Wayne Kerr, Direcer of our Office of State Programs. His telephone number if 301/492-8170.
We look forward to continuing our close working relationship with Ohio.
