Dear Dr. Stratton: 

On December 20, 1999, the Management Review Board (MRB) met to consider the proposed 

final Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) report on the California 

Agreement State Program. The MRB found the California program adequate to assure public 

health and safety and compatible with NRC's program. 

Section 5.0, page 22, of the enclosed final report presents the IMPEP team's recommendations. 

We request your evaluation and response to recommendations within 30 days from receipt of 

this letter. 

Based on the results of the current IMPEP review, the next full review will be in approximately 4 

years. 

I appreciate the courtesy and cooperation extended to the IMPEP team during the review and 

your support of the Radiation Control Program. I look forward to our agencies continuing to 

work cooperatively in the future. 

Sincerely, 

Carl J. Paperiello 

Deputy Executive Director
