a i disapprove publication of the proposed Federal Rooistar notice to solicit comment on the draft
- Agreement with the State of Arizona which would allow the State to conduct inspections on.
behalf of NRC at certain Fe.1eral materials licensees in Arizona and offer the following for the
> staffs consideration.-
. In the current budget climate, I do not support the expenditure of scarce NRC resources to -
1 conduct a resource intensive pilot program where the associated costs appear to far outweigh the potential long-run benefitsc We have already loomed that there is a large up-front.
' expenditure of resources required to pursue an agreement such as the one being proposed and that there are large costs involved in implementing the agreement (orientation training, regional direction and oversight, security clearances or investigations, etc.). In retum, the potential long-term benefits are at best about one person-week of annual saved inspection resources for the 18 Federal facilities in Arizona and the possibility that this arrangement could become a model i
~
- for other Agreement States', each of which in tum would have to go through a resource l
- intensive transition suct. as the one described. by the staff. I suggest that we terminate this t
jetfort now; t-6 E
e i

' l understand that, except for Arizona, Agreement States have expressed little or no
. Interest in this sort of approach;
