Mr. Bernard H. Weiss 

Division of Emergency Preparedness and 

Engineering Response 

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (MNBB-330) 

Washington, D.C. 20555 

Dear Mr. Weiss: 

I am writing in regard to my understanding of the status of the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) efforts to delineate and coordinate the two agencies' 

responsibilities for receiving notifications of radionuclide releases 

and for responding to those releases. Based on my previous communications 

with you, your meeting with Walter W. Kovalick, Jr., Deputy Director of 

the Office of Emergency and Remedial Response (OERR), on December 2, 1985, 

and your participation in subsequent meetings with OERR staff, I have been 

informed that NRC and EPA are working in a cooperative fashion to address 

this issue. 

The radionuclide reportable quantity (RQ) adjustment regulatory 

strategy under section 103 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 

Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) is still undergoing 

deliberation in the interagency Work Group of which you are a member. It 

is our intent to formalize a Memorandum of Understanding regarding our 

respective reporting and response authorities and responsibilities in this 

area once the Work Group's strategy development is completed. I fully 

understand the need for such an agreement between the two agencies, and I 

appreciate your interagency coordination efforts. 

Furthermore, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, as 

well as Dr. Lidia Roche and Mr. Donald Nell is, for your continued support 

as the NRC's representatives on the CERCLA Radionuclide RQ Adjustment 

Work Group. In addition to the radionuclide release data and information 

on NRC licensed facilities, your comments and recommendations in the Work 

Group have been valuable in the RQ adjustment regulatory development 

effort. 

If I can be of further assistance to you, please let me know. 

Sincerely yours, 

?0 S
