j NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON. D.C. 20ed64001 March 20, 1997 Mr. Ricky L. Boggan, Director Bureau of Environmental Health 2423 North State Street P.O. Box 1700 Jackson, Mississippi 39215
Dear Mr. Boggan:
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is implementing, on an interim basis, the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) for use in the evaluation of Agreement State Programs. Enclosed for your review is the draft IMPEP report which documents the results of the Agreement State review held in your offices on January 27-31,1997. Craig Gordon, Regional State Agreements Officer, from Region I, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, was the team leader for the Mississippi review. The review team's recommendations were discussed with you and your staff on January 31, 1997.
NRC has significantly changed the manner in which periodic reviews are conducted for Agreement State programs to assure that public health and safety are adequately protected from the hazards associated with the use of radioactive materials and that Agreement State programs are compatible with NRC's program. The new process, titled IMPEP, employs a team of NRC and Agreement State staff to assess both Agreement State and NRC Regional Office radioactive materials licensing and inspection programs. All reviews use common criteria in the assessment and place primary emphasis on performance. Four additional areas have been identified as non-common indicators and are also addressed in the assessment. The final determination of adequacy and compatibility of each Agreement State program, based on the review team's report, will be made by a Management Review Board (MRB) composed of NRC managers and an Agreement State l
program manager who serves as a liaison to the MRB.
l In accordance with procedures for implementation of IMPEP, we are providing you with a copy of the draft team report for review prior to submitting the report to the MRB. Your review of the draft report should focus on factual correctness of information reported by the team. I am asking that you provide your response to me within two weeks of receipt of this letter. Please notify me if you will require more than two weeks to respond.
The team will review the response, make any necessary changes to the report and issue it to the MRB as a proposed final report. We will coordinate with you to establish the date 1
