Dear Mr. Chiefari:
l 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 l holding one-day periodic meetings with Agreement 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 September 21,1999 at 1:00 p.m. and will be held in your offices.
Kathleen Schneider, Office of State Programs, assigned as Project Officer for New York, will be the other NRC representative in attendance. l Based on previous discussions, the likely topics for conversation at the meeting include: ,
