Dear Mr. Paris:
In order to help both Agreement States and the NRC remain knowledgeable of each others' programs and to conduct planning for the next IMPEP review, the IMPEP process includes holding one-day periodic meetings with Agreements States between IMPEP reviews.
We request a meeting, no longer than one day, to discuss your Agreement State program and share programmatic information. This letter confirms that, after previous coordination, the meeting is scheduled for November 18,1999, and will be held in your offices. Mr. Mark Shaffer, Region IV State Agreements Officer, and Mr. Thomas O'Brien, Office of State Programs, assigned as Project Officer for Oregon, will be the other NRC representative in attendance.
Based on our previous discussions the likely topics for conversation at the meeting include:
- 1. State action on all open IMPEP review findings that have not been recommended for closure at a previous periodic meeting.
- 2. Strengths and/or weaknesses of the State or NRC programs as identified by the State or NRC including identification of actions that could diminish weaknesses.
- 3. Status of State program or policy chana- "evelopment or recently completed including:
- 1. Changes in program staff
- 2. Program reorganizations
- 3. Legislative changes \ D 3
- 4. Redistribution of responsibilities
- 5. Changes in program budget / funding
- 4. Status of NRC program changes (similar to those in 3.) That could impact Agreement States.
