%+...*M CHAIRMAN December 4, 1986 Mr. John A. Eure, Chairman Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors, Inc.

71 Fountain Place Frankfort, Kentucky 40601

Dear Chairman Eure:

I am responding to your letter of October 22, 1986 concerning the reorganization of the NRC.

I appreciate your thoughtful comments, especially the concern that radiological protection be carried out in the most effective way possible.

The Commission has decided that the new Office of Governmental and Public Affairs will report directly to the Commission on matters of policy concerning State Programs.

Harold Denton will head this office.

This decision reflects the Commission's intention to continue to upgrade and improve the relationship between the NRC and the states.

The Commission has not yet reached a decision concerning the extent that other State Program functions will be moved to the new office.

The Executive Director for Operations (E00) has been asked to develop options for Commission review.

One of these would move the State Programs function, intact, to the new office.

I believe that a decision on scheduling the meeting you requested should be deferred until the Commission has reviewed the options.

I am pleased that our Agreement State Program is so highly regarded.

Officials of many states have expressed the view that needs of Agreement States were met more effectively upon the establishment of the Office of State Programs.

I assure you that the final decision will continue to emphasize and enhance the significance and effectiveness of the Agreement State Program.

Sincerely, h LuJb CV.
