!" o NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMNHSSION
{ WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555
% 4' CHA RMAN The Honorable William Donald Schaefer Governor of Maryland Annapolis, Maryland 21404
Dear Governor Schaefer:
I am writing to inquire about the State of Maryland's.
interest in continued participation in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) State Liaison program. It is my understanding that Mr. Max Eisenberg, Assistant Secretary for Toxics, Environmental Science & Health, in Maryland's Department of the Environment, and your most recent State Liaison Officer, has vacated his position. I hope you share the Commission's belief in the value of this program and will advise us of your new appointment at an early date.
In 1976, the NRC adopted a recommendation of State organi-zations, including the National Governors' Association, that we request each State to appoint a single person to act as liaison to NRC to improve Federal / State cooperation. The NRC looks to the Governor-appointed State Liaison Officers to provide a communication channel between the States and the NRC; to be the key person in the State to keep the Governor completely j l
informed on regulatory, radiological public health and safety, !
or other matters of interest to the Governor; to keep other officials within the State informed on regulatory and public ]
health and safety matters as appropriate to their interests and responsibilities; and to provide NRC with answers to questions posed to the States on particular issues.
The individual you select to perform this function can be someone from your staff who can communicate effectively with other State agencies on nuclear issues. 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 me; Mr, Carlton C. Xammerer, Director of NRC's State, local and Indian Tribe Programs in our Headquarters Office of Governmental and Public Affairs at 301-492-0321; or Marie Miller, our Region I State Liaison Officer at 215-337-5246.
Sincerely, 8808300153 880818 RES E E PNV y, k, Lando W. Z h,J
