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 extramural research and development budget well below the $100 million 3
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, U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). On April 16, 1996, SBA 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
