FROM:
J n C. Hoyle
SUBJECT:
--STAFF REQUIREMENTS:-SECY 97-183 - CRITERIA FOR FUNDING AGREEMENT STATE TRAINING, TRAVEL, AND TECHNICitL ASSISTANCE The Commission approved the staff's proposal for addressing Agreement State requests fer technical assistance on1a_ case-by-
-case basis.
The Commission also approved the proposed criteria
'for evaluating Agreement State requests for NRC funding of training and_ travel, subject to the following guidance and the editorial-changes noted in the enclosure to this SRM:
r e the staff should develop an additional criterion'which would establish a limit on the total number of training requests that the NRC will approve for an individual State over a three year period to ensure that States do not rely upon NRC funding _as a matter of routine.
This number should represent an appropriate fraction of the Agreement State's training needs, and be based on the size of the Agveement State program and the projected training neede of'the individual States so as ta) provide an equal incentive for all States to seek funding to cover their training needs independent of the NRC.
e the relative priority for class admission is as follows:
Priority I NRC staff and Agreement State staff fully funded by their State.
Priority II Agreement State staff for whom tuition is funded by the NRC.
Priority III Agreement State staf f for who n NRC has 4
funded tuition and travel, in whole or in part.

- at the conclusion of FY 1998, the staff should conduct its initial evaluation of the effectiveness of the criteria and their application over the prior 12-month period and propose modifications to the criteria or their application as needed.
(EDO)
(SECY Suspense:
12/31/98) e after three years of experience in applying the criteria, the staff should evaluate the program again to determine if the criteria have been effective in providing an incentive for the Agreement States to fund the full costs of their respective programs.
(EDO)
(SECY Suspense:
12/31/2000)
After incorporating this guidance and the editorial changes set forth in enclosure 1, the staff should inform the Agreement States of the new criteria.
