Dear Dr. Kelley:
Enclosed for your review is the draft Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) report which documents the results of the Agreement State follow-up review held in your offices on July 7-10,1998. James Lynch, Region 111 State Agreements Officer, was the team leader for the New Mexico follow-up review. The review team's findings and recommendations were discussed with you and your staff on July 10,1998.
The follow-up review team found that the State responded to and resolved 28 of the 29 recommendations and suggestions from the 1997 review. The only remaining open recommendation concerns the promulgation of regulations required for compatibility, which was found to be in process. Based on the findings, the follow-up review team is recommending to the Management Review Board (MRB) that for each of the five common indicators and the one non-common indicator reviewed, New Mexico's performance be found satisfactory and that the program as a whole be considered adequate to protect public health and safety and compatible with NRC's regulatory program. The team also recommends that the heightened oversight of the New Mexico radiation control program be discontinued.
The review team recommends that a full IMPEP review be scheduled for 2 years from the date of this follow-up review, unless otherwise indicted at the next annual meeting.
In accordance with procedures for implementation of IMPEP, we are providing you with a copy of the draft team report for review prior to submitting the report to the MRB. Your review of the draft report should focus on the factual correctness of information reported by the team. We welcome your comments on the draft report. If possible, we request comments within 4 weeks from your receipt of this letter. This schedule will permit the issuance of the final report in a timely manner that will be responsive to your needs. j l
The team will review the response, make any necessary changes to the report and issue it to I the MRB as a proposed final report. We will coordinate with you to establish the date for the l
