Dear Mr. Dircks:

In accordance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) rule, 44 CFR 350, the State of Maryland submitted its State and associated local plans for radiological emergencies related to the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant to the Regional Director of FEMA Region III for FEMA review and approval on May 26, 1982. The Regional Director forwarded his evaluation of the Maryland State and local plans to me on April 8, 1985, in accordance with section 350.11 of the rule. His submission included an evaluation of the exercises conducted on September 14, 1983, September 28, 1982, and November 17, 1981, and a report of the public meeting held on May 25, 1982, which explained the site-specific aspects of the State and local plans. On April 30, 1985, the Regional Director submitted an addendum to his report noting all of the recent revisions to offsite plans and preparedness. This last effort has resulted in the resolution of the outstanding deficiencies.

Based.on an overall evaluation, I find and determine that, subject to the condition stated below, the Maryland State and local. plans and pre-paredness for the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant are adequate to protect the health and safety of the public in that there is reasonable assurance that the appropriate protective measures can be taken in the event of a radiological emergency. However, while there is a public alert and notification (A&N) system in place and operational, this approval is conditional on FEMA's verification of the A&N system in accordance with the criteria in NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev.1, Appendix 3, and in the " Standard Guide for the Evaluation of Alert and Notification Systems for Nuclear Power Plants" (FEMA-43).

Sincerely, k $ g^^- k Samuel W. Speck Associate Director State and Local Programs and Support
