Dear Governor Owens:
In 1976, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) adopted a recommendation of State organizations, including the National Governors' Association, that we request each State to appoint a single person to act as liaison to NRC to improve Federal / State cooperation. The NRC looks to the Governor-appointed State Liaison Officers to provide a communication channel between the States and the NRC; to be the key person in the State to keep the Governor completely informed on regulatory health and safety matters as appropriate to their interests and responsibilities; and to provide NRC with answers to quections posed to the States on particular issues.
I am writing to request Colorado's continued participation in the NRC's State Liaison Officer program. The individual you select can be someone from the State who can communicate effectively with other State agencies on nuclear issues.
Former Governor Romer appointed Robert M. Ouillin, Director of the Laboratory and Radiation Services Division in the Department of Public Health and Environment as Colorado's State Liaison Officer. The NRC will continue to work with Mr. Ouillin unless you inform us of a new choice. We will keep you informed of major NRC programs and activities through Mr. Ouillin.
At the same time, we will maintain our ties to those State agencies with whom we have established relationships for specific issues.
If you or your staff have any questions or wish additionalinforrnation, please contact Paul H.
Lohaus, Director, Office of State Programs, at 301-415-2326 or Charles A. Hackney, our Region IV State Liaison Officer, at 817-860-8267.
I am looking forward to continuing an excellent working relationship with the State of Colorado.
Sincerely, Shirley Ann Jackson cc: Robert M. Ouillin 9902120092 990203 PDR COMMS NRCC CORRESPONDENCE PDR qQOhlhbd b
