Dear Ms. Leek:

In order to help the Agreement States and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) remain knowledgeable of each others program, the NRC conducts one-day periodic meetings with Agreement States between Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) reviews. This letter confirms that, through previous coordination, the meeting has been scheduled for March 24, 2020, and will be held in your offices. The meeting will be conducted in accordance with Office of Federal and State Materials and Environmental Management Programs Procedure SA-116, Periodic Meetings Between IMPEP Reviews.

The likely topics for discussion at this meeting are listed in the enclosed agenda. If there are any additional specific topics you would like to cover, or if you would like to focus on a specific area, please let me know.
