Dear Mr. Broderick:

To assist us in the development of the planning assumptions to support our Fiscal Year 2000 budget, we corresponded with you on December 19,1997, requesting information regarding your schedule to enter into an Agreement with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). In particular, we requested your target dates for submitting a complete draft application package for NRC staff review, and for submitting a formal request for the Agreement from the Governor to the Chairman. We are writing again asking that you confirm, or update your January 26, 1998 response to our December 19,1997 letter. j For your assistance, we have identified below the principal elements that should be included in a complete draft application:  !

l

1. Draft letter from the Governor to the Chairman making the certifications required i by the Atomic Energy Act, and requesting an agreement. l

2. Copies of the State's statutes or legislation authorizing the radiation control program and assumption of regulatory authority under an agreement.

3. Copies of the State's radiation control regulations.

4. Narrative description of the State's radiation control program.

9. Identification of al perst.nnel that will be working in the program and their resumes.

10. Analysis demonstrating that the program meets the criteria set out in the 1981 and 1983 policy statements. The integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program common and applicable non-common performance indicator criteria in Management Directive 5.6 may also provide insights on areas that you may want to address in the analysis.

Assuming there are no major issues, NRC staff would expect to complete a review of a draft application for an agreement, and provide comments to you for resolution, within 6 months of receipt. NRC staff would expect to complete processing of a formal request for an agreement from the Govemor within 5-7 months of receipt. " Processing" of the formal request includes staff and Commission review of the proposed agreement and approval for publication in the Federal Register for public review and comment, resolution of public comments, and final Commission review and approval of the agreement. Following Commission approval, up to one month may be necessary te schedule and hold a signing ceremony, if desired by the State.

The agreement is also usually made effective one month following the date of signature to provide time for an orderly transition in regulatory authority (e.g., transfer license and inspection files).

If you have any questions conceming this letter, please contact me or Patricia Larkins of my staff (301) 415-2309 or Intemet: PML@NRC. GOV.
