Dear Governor Ventura:
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 matters as appropriate to their interests and responsibilities; and to provide NRC with answers to questions posed to the States on particular issues.
- l am writing to request Minnesota's continued participation in the NRC's State Liaison Officer program. The individual you select can be someone frorn the State who can communicate effectively with other State agencies on nuclear issues.
- Former Governor Carlson appointed Commissioner Krista Sanda of the Minnesota Department of Public Service, as the State Liaison Officer from Minnesota. We understand that Ruth
= Grendahlis now serving as Acting Commissioner of the Department. The NRC will work with 1
i Ms. Grendahl unless you inform us of a new choice. We will keep you informed of major NRC programs and activities through Ms. Grendahl. 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 additionalinformation, please contact Paul H.
Lohaus, Director, Office of State Programs, at 301-415-2326 or Roland Lickus, our Region ill

State Liaison Officer, at 630-829-96S0.
