9 June 24, 1993 The Honorable Joseph Lieberman, Chairman Subcommittee on Clean Air and Nuclear Regulation Committee on Environment and Public Works United States Senate Washington, DC 20510
Dear Mr. Chairman:
The NRC has sent to the Office of the Federal Reaister for publication the enclosed proposed amendment to the Commission's rules in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E.
Experience has shown that the requirements in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.F.3 on full or partial participation by State or local governments in the biennial (offsite) exercise are unnecessarily complicated.
Additionally, the Commission believes that the interval for an ingestion exposure pathway exercise should be changed from 5 to 6 years, and that the requirement that all states within the plume exposure pathway EPZ for a given site fully participate in an offsite exercise for that site at least once every 7 years should be deleted.
These emergency planning exercise revisions will make NRC regulations consistent with FEMA's exercise requirements.
The Commission is issuing the proposed amendment for public comment.
Sincerely, t
