Dear Mr. Whatley:
l l
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is sponsoring a National State Liaison Officers' (SLO) Meeting on December 1-2,1999 at the NRC Auditorium in the Two White Flint North Building at NRC Headquarters in Rockville, Maryland. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss with the SLOs nut; ear issues and activities that could affect the States. The meeting will also provide opportunity for SLO discussions with NRC Commissioners and other senior NRC representatives. Since these national meetings are held only once every three years, I want to emphasize the importance of your attendance.
You were recently contacted by the Regional State Liaison Officer (RSLO) for your State for suggested agenda topics. We plan to discuss many of the topics which have been suggested.
Agenda topics which have been identified include: the effect of the electric L.tility industry deregulation on nuclear power plant regulation; the new NRC reactor inspection and oversight program and the status of the pilot program; continued State involvement at nuclear power plants undergoing decommissioning and other nuclear power plant decommissioning issues; NRC actions on " orphan" radioactive sources; release of solid materials from licensed facilities; proposed NRC requirements for registration of generally licensed devices; extemal regulation of the Department of Energy; the source term from spent fuel storage at shutdown reactors and its effect on emergency planning; response to terrorists acts involving radioactive material; status of NRC regulation of uranium mill tailings; and the status of the nation's low-level radioactive waste disposal program. Certain of these topics willlikely be addressed using a panel format with some SLOs serving as panel members. If you are interested in making a presentation or joining in a panel discussion on any of these topics or if you have suggestions for additional topics, please let us know. We will provide you the meeting agenda in the near future as it is finalized.
The meeting agenda will focus on issues of broad interest. If there are issues specific to your State which you would like to meet with NRC staff to discuss while you are at NRC Headquarters, please let us know so we can attempt to arrange separate meetings for you.
NRC will assume travel and per diem expenses for all SLOs attending the meeting. You will I receive a per diem allowance of $115.00 for lodging and $38.00 for meals, not to exceed
$153.00. Enclosed are travel instructions and a travel registration form which is required to be ii filled out in order to prepare your travel authorization. Please retum the completed form to

Dear Mr. Dasher:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is sponsoring a National State Liaison Officers' (SLO) Meeting on December 1-2,1999 at the NRC Auditorium in the Two White Flint North Building at NRC Headquarters in Rockville, Maryland. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss with the SLOs nuclear issues and activities that could affect the States. The meeting will also provide opportunity for SLO discussions with NRC Commissioners and other senior NRC representatives. Since these national meetings are held only once every three years, I want to emphasize the importance of your attendance.
You were recently contacted by the Regional State Liaison Officer (RSLO) for your State for suggested agenda topics. We plan to discuss many of the topics which have been suggested.
Agenda topics which have been identified include: the effect of the electric utility industry deregulation on nuclear power plant regulation; the new NRC reactor inspection and oversight program and the status of the pilot program; continued State involvement at nuclear power plants undergoing decommissioning and other nuclear power plant decommissioning issues; NRC actions on " orphan" radioactive sources; release of solid materials from licensed facilities; proposed NRC requirements for registration of generally licensed devices; extemal regulation of the Department of Energy; the source term from spent fuel storage at shutdown reactors and its effect on emergency planning; response to terrorists acts involving radioactive material; status of NRC regulation of uranium mill tailings; and the status of the nation's low-level radioactive waste disposal program. Certain of these topics will likely be addressed using a panel format with some SLOs serving as panel members. If you are interested in making a presentation orjoining in a panel discussion on any of these topics or if you have suggestions for additional topics, please let us know.
