Dear Mr. Allard:
To assist us l' the development of the planning assumptions to support our Fiscal Year 2001-02 n
budget, we corresponded with you on December 15,1998, requesting information regarding your schedule to enter into an Agreement with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). In particular, we requested your target dates for submitting a complete draft application package for NRC staff review, and for submitting a formal request for the Agreement from the Govemor to the Chairman. We are again asking that you confirm, or update your previous response regarding your planned schedule to enter into an Agreement.
We consider a draft app!! cation package to be complete when NRC is in receipt of all of the following information:
1.
Draft letter from the Govemor to the Chairman making the certifications required by the Atomic Energy Act, and requesting an agreement.
2.
Copies of the State's statutes or legislation authorizing the radiation control program and assumption of regulatory authority under an agreement.
3.
Copies of the State's radiation control regulations.
l 4.
Narrative description of the State's radiation control program.
5J Copies of all State implementing procedures and guidance documents for licensing, inspection, enforcement, incident response, response to allegations, and updating of State regulations.
6.
Copies of sample forms and licenses.
7.
Copies of all position descriptions.
8.
Identification of all personnel that will be working in the program and their resumes.
9.
Analysis demonstrating that the program meets the criteria set out in the 1981 and 1983 policy statements. The Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program common and applicable non-common performance indicator criteria in Management Directive 5.6 may also provide insights on areas that you may want to address in the analysis.
