Dear Senator D'Amato:
This islin response to your letter of September 20, 1983, to the Nuclear l
Regulatory Comission which enclosed a letter from your constituent, Mr. Albert E.-Krewer of Brooklyn, New York, in which he expressed concern regarding evacuation at.the Indian Point Nuclear Power Station during severe 1;eather conditions.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has been an active participant in the Federal ~ government's coordination program to assure effective emergency
- planning in the. environs surrounding a nuclear power facility. However, the NRC is_ primarily responsible for assessing the adequacy of onsite emergency 4
plans developed by nuclear power plant licensees.
The Federal Emergency ManagementAgency(FEMA),by.Presidentia1' directive,hasbeenassignedthe responsibility for assessing the odequacy of offsite emergency planning around nuclear power plants. Accorci;ngly,1 e forwarding a copy of your
-correspondence to FEMA Headquerters ft.r their consideration and response, Sincerely,
-+

au n 8 38s The_-Honorable Alfonse D'Amato nited States Senate-Washington,.DC.20510 Dear-Senator D'Amatot
- n The Commission has asked me to reply to your letter of June'4,.
1986 requesting the-Commission to ask the Federal Emergency Management Agency- (FEMA) to conduct a public meeting on FEMA's asses'sment'of'the February 13, 1986 emergency plenning exercise-for the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant.
. FEMA has said that its regulations do not require such.a public-
- meeting, and the-Commission does not believe that it should H
second-guess FEMA on what FEMA's own regulations mean.
- However, the Commission has ordered a public hearing on the exercise-
-results in which the principal interested parties, i~ncluding the State of New York and Suffolk County, can participate.
The. State of New York,-Suffolk County, and the Town of Southampton -
-submitted a~ request similar.to yours to the Commission-on June'3, and the Commission addressed this-request in-a-Memorandum and
. Order of June 6,.1986.
A copy.is enclosed for your-information.
I hope that this letter-responds adequately to your concerns.
Respectfully, 5
