The Honorable Arne H. Carlson Governor of Minnesota St. Paul, Minnesota 55155
Dear Governor Carlson:
I am responding to your letter of July 10,1998, 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 Minnesota pursuant to Section 274b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. The NRC staff has initiated discussions with your Department of Health Radiation Control Section staff, regarding the actions necessary for the State of Minnesota to become an Agreement State. I have asked Mr. Richard Bangart, Director, Office of State Programs, to coordinate the NRC efforts in our negotiations with Minnesota. He may be reached at (301) 415-3340.
The Commission is pleased that the State of Minnesota is interested in participating in the Agreement State Program and looks forward to the continued excellent relationship we have enjoyed in the past.
Sincerely, gi@$t $1@ED BY Shirley Ann Jackson cc:

SAINT PAUL 55155 ARNE H. CARLSON GOVERNOR July 10,1998 Shirley Ann Jackson, Ph.D. Chairman RM M " d.%, Nuclear Regulatory Commission dhington, D.C. 20555 g g g gegDr. Jackson:
In 1998, the Minnesota Legislature authorized the negotiation of an agreement with the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the purposes of designating Minnesota as an Agreement State.
We are requesting assistance from your agency to enable the Minnesota Department of Health to meet the NRC agreement state requirements to assume regulatory authority for non-power plan i
radiation hazards pursuant to Section 274b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
Minnesotans will be well-served by a comprehensive state program of radiation protection. For many years, our state officials have regulated x-ray machines; and, in 1997, non-reactor-produced radioactive materials for industrial uses were added.
We look forward to working cooperatively with NRC staff to meet our goal of assuming regulatory responsibility for the control of reactor-produced radioactive material by 2002. Please contact Ms. Judith Ball, Manager of the Radiation Control Section at the Minnesota Department of Health at 612-215-094.5.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Warmest regards, k,
U ARNE II. CARLSON Governor Anne Barry, Commissioner of Health, Minnesota Department of Health cc:
Judith Ball, Manager, Section of Asbestos, Indoor Air, Lead and Radiation, Minnesota Department of Health Richard L. Bangart, Director, Office of State programs, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Rockville, Maryland James Lynch, Regional State Agreements Officer, NRC, Region III.
