SUBJECT:

. FUNDING FOR DAM SAFETY PROGRAMi

Dear Mr. Andress:

i r

g L Wo wore pleased to loam at the October 1997, Interagency Committee on Dam Safety (ICODS) c meeting that the National Dam Safety Program implementation Plan (NDSPl).will authorize $2.9' million to support the dam safety initiative.1We believe this level of funding will give the Federal j

1 Emergency Management Agency the opportunity to implement a ' strong and proactive:safstyf

]

program for the nation's dams l Since funding for the dem safety initiative is now secure with the

NDSPI authorization,the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission does not plan to continue funding ;

j' its commitment of $10,000 for annual involvement in ICODS.

Although there is no longer a need for NRC to directly fund the ICODS initiative, we will continue i E

to participate as an active _ member of the organization. We believe that the current appropriation

? will be of great benefit to ICODS and its member agencies, and look forward to our continued -

Lparticipationin this important program.' If you have any questions regarding our decision, please.

call Mr. Daniel Rom of my staff at (301) 415-6704.

Sincerely,
