SUBJECT:
RADIATION MONITORING COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT NRC-30-83446
Dear Mr. Suppos:
This letter is to praku you with the status of the subjed contract with the U.S. .Judoar Regulatory Cornramion (NRC). Ths Commission recently accepted a staff recommendation to sunset the independent radiation monitoring program (IRMP) contracts. However, with the reduction in appropriations by Congress for this fiscal year, the Cornmission accelerated the c'oseout of the program to December 31,1997. In recognition tha' en abmpt termination could result in a potential hardship, the Commission authorized a short-term (no more than six months) exter>sion to ensure an orderly closcout. An amendment to the contract is being prepared and should be sent to you in February 1998. The amendment will also address the disposition of materials supplied to you by the NRC or procured on behalf of the NRC under this contract.
For your information, we plan to inform licensees monitored under this pmgram that the radiological environmental monitonag still required by the NRC may be performed under an agreement with a State agency. This action will ensure that licensees are aware of the options available to perform this work.
The NRC recognizes the high quality of work performed by your agency on this program over the years and looks fo ward to maintaining a good professional working relationship on items of mutual interest in the future, in closing, we encourage your agency to review its accounting records and send an invoice for any outstanding money owed so that we may proceed with an expeditious reconciliation. If you have any question on this matter, please call Mr. Stephen Klementowicz of my staff *t 301-4151064.
Sincerely, M
