Dear Senator Simpson:

On November 5, 1993 a member of your staff forwarded nine questions regarding the economic viability of Wyoming becoming an NRC Agreement State.
Enclosed are our responses to those questions.
We appreciate your interest in our Agreement State Program and would certainly provide assistance or information to aid the State of Wyoming in reaching a decision on whether or not to participate.

5, l')93 ree : Agreement. F. tate Programs Some questions on agreement atate procrams follow.
What we are icoking at is whether Wyoming shou ;d pursue agreement state -
- status, e.g., would it be economacasty Justified to even consider the idea?
1.
Do you have. any data on the costs of running an agreement state program:
What do various state programs cost, how many licensees do they havo. what is the-coat per licennee, etc.
Ts this available in a simple table form?
the typical Start up costs for becoming an agreement ut al e Why did Idaho choose to terminate its agreement 3.
state program?
Could you give me the name of a contact?
4.
Why did Maine, on the other hand, become an agreement state, what is different about Maine than Idaho?
Contact name?
5.
If Wyoming became an agreement state, would ' the state i
requiate the uranium industry within the r: tare or would the NRC still have primary responsibility?
j 6.
Would you provide a list of what a utate must do to become an agreement state?
And, what it.must do to keep its agreement state status?
7 Wyoming pays the NRC about $1 million a year in annual fees,
$170,000 in inspection fees, and $100.000 a year in license fees, would these dollars seem, on first blush, to support an agreement-state program?
8.
How of ten do medical, uranium, and other materials licenses have to be renewed?
9.
Again, not as a formal response, but on first blush, what-kind of people would Wyoming need on staff to havn sufficient expertise to run an agreement sta te program?
Thanks.
Any annwsers you can get :.c met <Ittickly would be appreciated, even if in rough form or by phone call (224-2991).
