Dear Dr. Nolan:

On October 19,1998, the Management Review Board (MRB) met to consider the proposed final Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) report on the Rhode Island Agreement State Program. The MRB found the Rhode Island program adequate to assure protection of public health and safety and compatible with NRC's program.

NRC recognizes the efforts of Rhode Island and the other Agreement States to maintain l adequate and compatible programs. During the MRB meeting, the importance of each I Agreement State maintaining funds for necessary training and travel was discussed. Your consideration of methods to help ensure State funding for training and travel could result in further strengthening of the Rhode Island program.

i Section 5.0, page 15, of the enclosed final report presents the IMPEP team's recommendations and suggestions. We have received your letter dated September 29,1998 which described the actions taken in response to the team's recommendations and suggestions. We request no additionalinformation.

Based on the results of the current IMPEP review, the next full review will be in approximately l 4 years. '
