Dear Mr. Chairman:
This is in response to your April 1, 1982 letter concerning proposed changes in NRC and FEMA regulations related to emergency response exercise frequency.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission met with the staff of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on February 4,1982 to discuss certain changes to the required frequency for State and local government participation in emergency response exercises required by NRC regulations in 10 CFR 50.
On April 1,1982, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission formally acted on a proposed amendment to NRC regulations, including concepts proposed by FEMA in a March 8, 1982 letter.
The Commission did not agree to imple-ment the proposal. While two Commissioners favored implementing the proposal, the other two felt that more experience is necessary before the present exercise frequency is reduced.
I have had a subsequent meeting and correspondence with Mr. Giuffrida and his staff on our respective regulations. The NRC staff will continue to work closely with their FEMA counterparts on this subject.
Sincerely,
/u w '
