Dear Dr. Koh:
On April 6,1998 the Management Review Board (MRB) met to consider the proposed final Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) report on the Massachusetts Agreement State Program. The MRB found the Massachusetts program adequate to protect public health and safety and compatible with NRC's program.
Section 5.0, page 15, of the enclosed final report presents the IMPEP team's recommendations and suggestions. We request your evaluation and response to the recommendations within 30 days from receipt of this letter.
Based on the results of the current IMPEP review, the next full review will be scheduled in four years, unless program concerns develop that require an earlier evaluation. We will keep the Commonwealth informed of our plans to review Massachusetts' sealed source and device evaluation program prior to a full IMPEP review.
I appreciate the courtesy and cooperation extended to the IMPEP team during the review and your support of the Radiation Control Program. I look forward to our agencies continuing to J
work cooperatively in the future.
Sincerely, Origine signed by Hugh L. Thommn, Jr.
