CHAIRMAN The Honorable Carroll A.
Campbell, Jr.
Governor of South Carolina Columbia, South Carolina 29211
Dear Governor Campbell:
I am writing to invite the State of South Carolina's continued participation in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's State Liaison Officer Program.
It is my understanding that your most recent State Liaison Officer, Heyward Shealy, Chief of the Bureau of Radiological Health in the Department of Health and Environ-mental Control, has retired.
Heyward has always done an outstanding job; we wish him well.
At our meeting on May 20, 1993, you made clear that you share the Commission's belief in the value of this program and will advise us of your new appointee at an early date.
In 1976, the NRC adopted a recommendation of State organizations, including the National Governors' Association, that we request each State to appoint a single person to act as liaison to NRC for the purpose of improving Federal / State cooperation.
The NRC looks to the Governor-appointed State Liaison Officers to provide a communication channel between the States and the NRC; to be the key person in the State to keep the Governor completely informed on nuclear regulatory and related public health and safety matters; and to provide NRC with answers to questions posed to the States on particular issues.
The individual you select to perform this function should be someone from your staff who can communicate effectively with other State agencies on issues related to the regulation of radioactive material and commercial nuclear power reactors.
We will keep you informed of our programs and activities through this individual.
At the same time, we will maintain our ties to those State agencies with whom we have established relationships on specific issues.
The Commission looks forward to South Carolina's continued participation in the NRC's State Liaison Officer program.
If you or your staff have any questions or wish additional information, please contact Richard Bangart, Director of NRC's Office of State Programs, at 301-504-3340 or Robert Trojanowski, our Region II State Liaison Officer, at 404-331-5597.
Sincerely, 1
