Dear Mr. Godwin:
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) uses the integrated Materials Performance l
Evaluation Program (IMPEP) in the evaluation of Agreement State programs. Enclosed for your review is the draft IMPEP report which documents the results of the Agreement State l
review held in your offices on February 9-13,1998. Mr. James Myers, NRC Office of State Programs, was the Team Leade, for the Arizona review. The review team's recommendations l
were discussed with you and your staff on February 13,1998, and during a conference call on February 24,1998. The review team's proposed recommendations are that the Arizona l
Agreement State program be found adequate to protect public health and safety and compatible with the NRC program.
NRC has significantly changed the manner in which periodic reviews are conducted for Agreement State programs to assure that public health and safety are adequately protected j
from the hazards associated with the use of radioactive materials and that Agreement State t
programs are compatible with NRC's program. The new process, titled IMPEP, employs a team of NRC and Agreement State staff to assess both Agreement State and NRC Regional l
Office radioactive materials licensing and inspection programs. All reviews use common criteria l
in the assessment and place primary emphasis on performance. Two additional areas have l
been identified as non-common performance indicators and are also addressed in the assessment. The final determination of adequacy and compatibility of each Agreement State program, based on the review team's report, will be made by a Management Review Board (MRB) composed of NRC managers and an Agreement State program manager who serves as l
a liaison to the MRB.
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 factual correctness of information reported by the team. I am e
asking that you provide your response to me as soon as possible, but no later than four weeks from receipt of this letter.
I The team will review the response, make any necessary changes to the report and issue it to the MRB as a proposed final report. We will coordinate with you to establish the date for the 140047 bl
