Audit Report AUDIT OF NRCS EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM OIG-20-A-12 Status of Recommendations Recommendation 2:
Coordinate with government partners at the Federal, State, and local levels to identify resources, such as recorded training videos or presentations, to supplement Regional State Liaison Officers outreach.
Agency Response Dated June 21, 2021:
The State Agreement and Liaison Programs Branch (SLPB) in the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) coordinated with government partners to identify training and information resources to supplement Regional State Liaison Officers (RSLO) outreach. Within the NRC, SLPB engaged the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response, the Office of International Programs, the Office of Public Affairs, and the RSLOs. SLPB also collaborated with external partners, including the Department of Energy, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Agreement States.
This extensive engagement identified additional training and information resources, which have been consolidated on the Federal, State, and Tribal Liaison Programs portion of the NRC public Web site (https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/state-tribal/fst-liaison.html). This page is also prominently linked on the left side of the State Communication Portal (https://scp.nrc.gov), under Federal and State Liaison Programs. Highlights of this newly added information include training videos and materials on various technical topics and regulatory processes, summary information on the Federal-State partnership, and updated State Liaison Officer conference information.
