Mr. M:rk E. Weidler, Secret:ry Environment Department DEC 3 0 B97 1190 St. Fr:ncis Driva
~ P.O. Box 26110 Santa Fa, NM 87502
Dear Mr. Weidler:
On October 23,1997 and December 11,1997, the Management Review Beard (MRB) met to consider the proposed final Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) report on the New Mexico Agreement State Program. The IMPEP review was conducted July 14-18,1997. The MRB had received for cont'deration the actions described in your letter of October 10,1997 and William M. Floyd's letter dated December 3,1997. The MRB found the New Mexico program adequate but needs improvement, and compatible with NRC's program. Because of the significance of the concerns, the MRB recommends heightened oversight of the New Mexico program. I request that monthly conference calls take place with the appropriate New Mexico and NRC staffs to discuss the status of the program. The Office of State Programs will coordinate the monthly teleconferences. I also request that written progress reports addressing the IMPEP team's suggestions and recommendations found in Section 5.0, page 19, of the enclosed final report be submitted to Richard L. Bangart, Director, Office of State Programs, every other month. The first progress report is requested by February 1,1998, f
Based on the results of the current IMPEP review, the follow-up review will be scheduled for July 1998. The follow-up review will cover the State's action on the recommendations from the July 1997 review.
I appreciate the courtesy and cooperation extended to the IMPEP team during the review, to me and my staff deir,g uur December 4,1997 meeting, and your continuing support of the Radiation Control Program. I look forward to our agencies continuing to work cooperatively in the future.
Sincerely, E"
