September 9, 1997 CHAIRMAN 4
The Honorable Jeanne Shaheen Governor of New Hampshire Concord, New Hampshire 03301
Dear Governor Shaheen:
I am writing to request the continued participation of the. State of New Hampshire in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) State Liaison Officer (SLO) program. It is my understanding that the most recent State Liaison Officer, George L. lverson, Director of the New Hampshire Office of Emergency Management, has retired. I trust that you share the Commission's belief in the value of this program and will advise os of your new appointee at an early date.
In 1976, the 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 for the purpose of improving 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 all significant nuclear regulatory and related public health and safety matters, and to provide NRC with answers to questions posed to the States on particular issues.,
The individual you select to perform this function should be a State official who can communicate effectively with other State agencies on significant issues related to the regulation of radioactive material. We will keep you informed of our programs and activities through this individual. At the same time, we will maintain specific existing communication links with those State ege.acles where NRC and the State both have responsibilities.
Ilook forward to continued participation by New Hampshire in the NRC's State Liaison Officer program. If you or your staff have any questions or wish additional information, please contact Richard L. Bangart, Director of NRC's Office o.' State Programs in Headquarters at 301415 3340 or David Chawaga, our Region I State Liaison Officer, at 610 337 5246.
