Edward L. Jordan Director .

Division of Emergency Preparedness and Engineering Response Office of Inspection and Enforcement U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission FROM: d N.K '

Assistant Associate Director Office of Natural and Technological Hazards Programs

SUBJECT:

Request for Exemption from Annual Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise for the Oconee Nuclear Power Facility The Oconee Nuclear Power Facility is scheduled for an annual joint radiological emergency preparedness exercise on June 18, 1984. Attached is a letter dated March 21, 1984, from the State of South Carolina advising the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region IV of South Carolina's decision not to participate in an Oconee exercise in calendar year 1984.

Also attached is a memorandum from FEMA Region IV dated April 4,1984, concurring with the State's request.

The last partial participation exercise at Oconee was held April 6,1983.

The results of this exercise did not necessitate any requirement for a remedial exercise. Deficiencies identified have been corrected or are scheduled to be corrected. The State of South Carolina has participated in another full-participation exercise, which makes the State of South Carolina eligible to go to a biennial frequency. Therefore, in accordance with 44 CFR 350.9, the State of South Carolina. and Oconee and Pickens Counties are not required to participate in the June 18, 1984, exercise scheduled for Oconee.

We have advised FEMA Region IV that since the State of South Carolina and the local governments within the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone for the Oconee Nuclear Facility are eligible to go to a biennial exercise frequency in accordance with 44 CFR 350.9, they are excused from participation in the annual exercise scheduled for June 18, 1984. We would, therefore, support an NRC exemption from the 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.F.1., annual exercise requirement for State and local governments in this instance, in the event such an exemption is requested by the utility.

Please let us know of your action in this matter.
