The Honorable Zach Wamp United States House of Representatives e

Dear Congressman Wamp:
1 I am responding to your letter of November 9,1998, written on behalf of your constituent Paul E. Knapp, a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) employee who works at the NRC Technical Training Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Mr. Knapp and some of his co-workers have expressed concerns regarding a possible relocation of the Technical Training Center from Chattanooga to NRC Headquarters in Rockville, Maryland.
The NRC is currently considering a consolidation of its training functions under a single organization in conjunction with agency streamlining initiatives. No decision to close the i
Chattanooga training facility or to relocate its employees has been made at this time. Any such decision would need to be mado deliberately and only after careful consideration of a number of relevant factors associated with facility closure and relocation, such as programmatic, financial, infrastructure, timing, and staffing considerations. A decision would have to be made wellin advance and carefully sequenced to provide sufficient notice to employees involved.
, During the FY 2001 budget cycle, the NRC plans to carefully evaluate its resources as agency streamlining continues. The benefits of continuing our technical training operations at the 4
Chattanooga location will be carefully examined as part of that process. We will be working j
dosely with Technical Training Center personnel and will be gathering information from them throughout this process.
I am providing a copy of this letter to Mr. Kenneth A. Raglin, Director, Technical Training Division in Chattanooga to share with Mr. Knapp and other members of the training staff.
We appreciate your interest in our training facility in Chattanooga. Should you or your staff need further information regarding this matter, please contact Mr. Paul Bird, Director, Office of Human Resources, at 301-415-7516.

Sincerely, 1
