2 is necessary to protect the public health and safety. In 1980, Section 274j was amended to authorize the comission to temporarily suspend all or part of an Agreement with a State in the case of an emergency situation where the State failed to take necessary action. Such suspensions may remain in effect only for the duration of the emergenc       A copy of Section 274 of the Act, as amended, is attached (Attachment 1)y. .
The mechanism for the transfer of NRC authority to a State to regulate the radiological health and safety aspects of nuclear materials s an l    Agreement between the Governor of the State and the Consiission. Criteria
 !   for such Agreements have been published by NRC as a policy Statement in-the federal _ Register (Attachment 2). A copy of the most recent Agreement with Illinois is attached for illustration (Attachment 3). Before actually i    signing the document, the Comission, by statute, must determine that the l    State's radiation control program is compatible with the Comission's,
!    meets the applicable parts of Section 274 and that it is adequate to
:    protect the public health and safety. For its part, the State o
[    establishes its authority to enter such an Agreement by passing enabling
!    legislation.
At present, 2B States have entered into such A l
These            States now regulate over 65%           of the 0 licensees for 24  Obreements w byproduct, l
scurce material, and special nuclear material in the United States. In
:    1981 the Comission determined that qualified States may also enter into limited agreements for regulation of low-level waste in permanent disposal facilities.
Each Agreement provides that the State will use its best efforts to maintain continuing compatibility with the NRC's program. The NRC maintains a continuing relationship with each Agreement State to
(    assure certinued compatibility of the State's regulatory program and i    its adequacy to protect health and safety. This relationship includes:
l exchange of information on a current basis covering regulations, 1.icensing, l    inspection and enforcement data; consultation on special licensing,
!     inspection enforcement and other regulatory problems; and an annual I
meeting of,all Agreement States to consider regulatory matters of comon interest. Special technical assistance is routinely provided to the States upon request.

I                  Althcugh other Federal agencies, such as she Environmental Protection 1                  Agency, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Department of 4
Transportation are also involved in the control of radiation hazards, NRC's Agretaient State Program serves as a focal point for Federal-State cooperation in radiation control.
4 The NRC State Agreements Program is administered by State Programs in the Office of Governmental and Public Affairs. This Commission level i
office was established as part of an overall NRC reorganization which bicar'e effective April 12, 1987. The NRC Regional Offices participate e
in iraplementation of the State Agreements Program.
The staffs of the Office of Governinental and Public Affairs and the i
Regional Offices are ready to meet with Governors, State agencies, St6te legislative committees, State advisory groups, and others to explain fully the NRC Agreement States program. They can provide descriptive materials about these programs and model State acts for regulatory legislation and will also arrange meetings with other NRC staff merbers on specialized subjects, as appropriate.
What are the advantages for a State that takes over the Cosnission's regulatory authority as described? The principal advantages of Agreement State status are:
(a) NRC's authority does not include regulation of X-ray machines and other radiation materials      or radium. produging                    equipment,f Regulation o     these sources for radiationaccelerator is, and always has been, primarily the. responsibility of the States.
Many States now exercise surveillance over these sources of radiation

4 which in the aggreflate, are responsible for over 75% of the public's emptqure to radiat'on, other than from background. Thus by assuming the tthority which th! NRC is authorized to relinquish,,a state is ai'J to have, as part of its public health system, a complete and Comprehensive program for radiation safety.
(b) Many facilities, including medical institutions and physicians, use radioisotopes as well as x-ray machines and radium. A State regulatury system which covers all such radiation sources enables rest users to deal with a single agency rather than with a Federal agency for a part and the State for the remainder.
(c) An Agreement with NRC enables a State to make its own licensing decisions and, in doing so, to take into account local conditions.
(d) The. proximity of licensed users of radioactive materials to the regulating agency has been cited as having significant advantages for both the users and the agency.
(e) Entering into such an Agreement with NRC would be consistent with a serious interest of a State in being knowledgeable about all sources of radiation located within its boundaries.
(f) An Agreement with NRC develops and enhances the core of radiation professionals at the State level who can respond to inquiries and incidents.
(g) An Agreement with NRC enhances the core of knowledgeable people at the State level who can respond to inquiries and incidents.
Adniinistrative costs that are incurred by a State becoming an Agreement State varies from State to State, depending , among other factors, upon whether or not the State already has a radiation control program covering sources of radiation not regulated by the NRC, i.e., x-ray machines accelerator-produced radioactive materials and radium. Where this is the case, the incremental costs would be less than if the State previously had only a limited or voluntary radiation control program. As a rule of thumb 2.0-1.5 staff-years per 100 licenses is needed to effectively administer the program assumed from the NRC. This is a rather general index and actual staffing needs will vary according to the partlcular circumstances in any given State. Further, those $tates having major licensed facilities in their state such as low-level radioact' ve waste
. disposal facilities and uranium mills, will need additional resources.
NRC staff can provide further guidance on staffing requirements for regulating in these areas.

5 NRC charges licensees licensing and inspection fees. Whether or not an Agreement State charges fees is a matter of choice for the State. NRC does not provide funding to States for routine propram costs. Some Agreement States fund their programs out of genera revenues and plan to continue doing so. The majority of the Agreement states, however, have authorized collection of user fees as a means of assuring an adequate fundint base. As a result of these states' foes and those of NRC over two-th rds of the licensees in the United States are licensed by a,gencies authorized to charge user fees.- NRC has prepared model State legislation which includes authorization for a fee systes. NRC staff can assist States-in developing fee systems.                                ,

When major program deficiencies are noted by NRC, technical advice, assistance and training are offered by- NRC (with its resources xaintaining adequate staffing levels, a).-       The main reflection     areasalary of State   of concern  is structures and funding. On the other hand, Agreenient States typically excel in having highly trainined staff and by conducting more frequent inspections than NRC.
