NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 30086 4001
\******
June 16,1999 Mr. David J. Allard, CHP, Director Bureau of Radiation Protection Department of Environmental Protection I Rachel Carson State Office Building P.O. Box 8469 Harrisburg, PA 17105-8469
Dear Mr. Allard:
NRC staff has conducted a completeness review of your draft request for an Agreement dated September 14,1998, which you provided to us during our February 24,1999 meeting. The completeness review conducted by staff was to determine whether the application contained sufficient information to enable staff to conduct a detailed review of the application. Our review has identified a number of areas where additional information or documentation is needed.
(Please see the comments in Enclosure 1.) We used as a basis for our review a Policy Statement providing criteria for new agreements, and a draft OSP procedure on processing of agreement requests, which are discussed in further detail below.
. The Commission's Policy Statement, " Criteria for Guidance of States and NRC in Discontinuance of NRC Reaulatory Authority and Assumotion Thereof by States Throuah Agreement." specifies the criteria the Commission will apply in making its finding that a proposed State program is adequate to protect public health and safety and compatible with NRC's regulatory program, as required by the Atomic Energy Act [ Effective January 23,1981 (46 FR 7540), and amended by Policy Statements published July 16,1981 (46 FR 36969) and July 21,1983 (48 FR 33376)). The Commission's finding is supported by a written assessment of the State's program, which is developed by staff based on review of the State's request against the criteria.
To facilitate both State activities to prepare an Agreement application, and NRC staff review activities, we are developing a procedure for the reviews based on the above criteria, the
- performance indicators set out in Management Directive 5.6, " Integrated Materials Performance
' Evaluation Program (IMPEP)," and staff experience in reviewing previous Agreement requests.
The procedure, OSP Procedure SA-700, contains a handbook in which we identify the types of documentation needed in an Agreement application. A copy of the draft procedure and handbook is enclosed (Enclosure 2).
We used the handbook in conducting our completeness review to identify the additional information and documentation needed in your application. For your reference, the comments ,
are correlated to the pertinent sections of the handbook. Based on our review, we have also prepared a summary of the information needed in an Agreement application which we hope will be of assistance to you when reviewing our comments (See Enclosure 3).' We would also appreciate your comments on the usefulness of the draft procedure and handbook.
