Dear Mr. Chairman:
I am responding to your May 2, 1997, request for information on the
. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) Small Business -Innovation Research (SBIR) Program. Please see the enclosed responses to your
< questions.
! As you may be aware, the NRC is going through a phased withdrawal from i the SBIR program because of budget reductions that have resulted in an 3
extramural research and development budget well below the $100 million threshold for participation in the SBIR program. On September 19, 1995, the NRC requested approval to withdraw from the SBIR program in a letter i to Mr. Richard J. Shane, Assistant Administrator, Office of Technology,
- approved our plan for a phased withdrawal from the program. The NRC announced its plan for the phased withdrawal in the Federal Register, !
Volume 61, No. 116, on Friday, June 14, 1996. A copy of that notification is also enclosed. j If any further information is needed in connection with this response, please let me know, or your staff may contact Marianne Riggs, Office of )
Nuclear Regulatory Research, on (301)'415-5822.
Sincerely, b
Shirley Ann Jackso
