UNITED STATES 4
NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION a.
WASHINGTON, D.C. 2055A001 x.....)
February 3, 1999 CHAIRMAN The Honorable Jim Hodges Governor of South Carolina Columbia, South Carolina 29211
Dear Governor Hodges:
In 1976, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) adopted a recommendation of State organizations, including the National Governors' Association, that we request each State to appoint a single person to act as liaison to NRC to improve Federal / State cooperation. The NRC looks to the Governor appointed State Liaison Officers to provide a communication channel between the States and the NRC; to be the key person in the State to keep the Governor completely informed on regulatory health and safety mattea as appropriate to their interests and responsibilities; and to provide NRC with answers to questions posed to the States on particular issues.
I am writing to request South Carolina's continued participation in the NRC's State Liaison Officer program. The individual you select can be someone from the State who can communicate effectively with other State agencies on nuclear issues.
Former Govemor Beasley appointed Virgil R. Autry, Director of the Division of Radioactive Waste Management in the Department of Health and Environmental Control, as South Carolina's State Liaison Officer. The NRC will continue to work with Mr. Autry unless you inform us of a new choice. We will keep you informed of major NRC programs and activities through Mr. Autry. At the same time, we will maintain our ties to those State agencies with whom we have established relationships for specific issues.
If you or your staff have any questions or wish additional information, please contact Paul H.
Lohaus, Director, Office of State Programs, at 301-415-2326 or Robert Trojanowski, our Region ll State Liaison Officer, at 404-562-4427.
I am looking forward to continuing an excellent working relationship with the State of South Carolina.
Sincerely, Shirley Ann Jackson cc:
