Dear Govemor Thompson:
I am responding to your letter of September 25,1998, notifying us of your intent to pursue an agreement with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). This agreement will transfer regulatory authority for control of radioactive material to the State of Wisconsin pursuant to Section 274b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. NRC will provide support to Wisconsin as the formal application to become an Agreement State is prepared. After the application is submitted, NRC will conduct a review using the Commission Policy Statement
" Criteria for Guidelines of States and NRC in Discontinuance of NRC Regulatory Authority and Assumption Thereof by States Through Agreement." I have asked Mr. Richard Bangart, Director, Office of State Programs, to coordinate the NRC efforts in our negotiations with Wisconsin. He may be reached at (301) 415-3340.
The Commission is pleased that the State of Wisconsin is interested in participating in the Agreement State Program and looks forward to the continued excellent relationship we have enjoyed in the past.

Shirley Jackson, Chairman U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 11555 Rockville Pike Rockville, MD 20852-2738
Dear Ms. Jackson:
The role of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in regulating radioactive material usage in the State of Wisconsin has been significant over the past several decades. As you are aware from your regulatory role, Wisconsin has been fortunate to have an abundant industry, much of which utilizes radioactive material in its industrial applications. In addition, academia and the health professions share in the statewide usage of radioactive material.
While such usage benefits all of us, radiation safety has always been a prime concem. I feel that the State of Wisconsin should pay a vital role in the radiation protection ofits citizens. Toward that end, it is our intent to pursue an agreement with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for transfer of authority for the regulation of radioactive material to the State of Wisconsin under Section 274b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
To facilitate our inquiry into the Agreement State program, I am requesting your assistance be provided directly to the Radiation Protection Unit of the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services.
Your staff can reach the Manager of the Radiation Protection Unit at 608/267-4792 to initiate this contact.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter. All of us look forward to a continuing cooperative effort to enhance radiation safety with' the State of Wisconsin.
