NRC & Agreement State Working Groups March 1, 2023 According to NRC Management Directive 5.3, It is the policy of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to provide Agreement State programs the opportunity for early and substantive involvement in the development or formulation of any rule, policy, directive or guidance document, as well as participation in any special study or other NRC activity... In alignment with this policy, the NRC includes Agreement State representatives in many working groups which enhance the partnership between the NRC and the Agreement States, facilitate the utilization of expertise that exists in the Agreement States, and support the National Materials Program. The purpose of this document is to provide a complete and concise list of the NRC working groups that field participants from the Agreement States.

Working Group Title Charter and/or Purpose Select Members1 Common Prioritization of Charter: ML18263A070 Alexa Sieracki, NRC/NMSS Rulemaking (CPR)
Working Group
Purpose:
The CPR uses the Philip Peterson, OAS/Colorado methodology based on the two NRC strategic goals of safety and security, and it also considers factors for internal and external influences. The methodology requires the selection of a primary and a secondary strategic goal that the rulemaking is intended to support and the selection of the rulemaking activitys level of contributionhigh, medium, or low to accomplishing those goals. The prioritization methodology has been revised to consider the 2018-2022 Strategic Plan.
