4r December 11, 1992 CH AIR M AN The Honorable William Donald Schaefer Governor of Maryland Annapolis, Maryland 21404
Dear Governor Schaefer:
I am writing to invite the State of Maryland's continued participation in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's State Liaison Officer Program.
It is my understanding that the most recent State Liaison Officer, Lawrence M. Ward, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Toxics, Environmental Sciences and Health, Maryland Department of the Environment, has vacated his position.
I trust 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 cooper ation.
The NRC looks to the Governor-appointed State Liaison Officers to provida 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
~
someot.e from your staff who can communicate effectively with other State agencies on issues related to the regulatirn 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.
I look forward to Maryland'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 Carlton Kammerer, Director, Office of State Programs in Headquarters at 301-504-2321 or Maitri Banerjee, our Region I Acting State Liaison Officer, at 215-337-5246.
Sincerely,
! /
