SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 3,

1996 the Kay C. Goss, Associate Director

for Preparedness, Training and

Exercises, Federal Emergency

Management Agency, reviewed and

approved the State of New York

Radiological Emergency Response Plan

site-specific to the Indian Point Nuclear

Power Generating Station, as follows:

‘‘In accordance with the Federal

Emergency Management Agency

(FEMA) Rule, 44 CFR 350, the State of

New York originally submitted the

offsite radiological emergency response

plans site-specific to the Indian Point

Nuclear Power Generating Station,

located in Westchester County, New

York, to the Regional Director of FEMA

Region II on August 17, 1981, for FEMA

review and approval. On October 28,

1991, the Region II Director submitted

an evaluation and recommendation for

formal approval of the offsite plans and

preparedness to the Associate Director

for State and Local Programs and

Support in accordance with Section

350.11 of the FEMA Rule. However,

during the Headquarters review process

several issues were identified which

were referred back to FEMA Region II

for clarification.

‘‘The Regional Director subsequently

addressed the issues requiring

clarification and resubmitted the

evaluation to FEMA Headquarters on

November 29, 1995. Included in this

evaluation was a review of the full

participation offsite radiological

emergency preparedness exercise

conducted on June 15, 1994, in

accordance with 44 CFR 350.9.

‘‘Based on the evaluation and

recommendation for approval by the

FEMA Region II Director, the review by

the Federal Radiological Preparedness

Coordinating Committee (FRPCC), and

the review by the FEMA Headquarters

staff in accordance with 44 CFR 350.12,

I find and determine that the State of

New York and local offsite radiological

emergency response plans and

preparedness site-specific to the Indian

Point Nuclear Power Generating Station

are adequate to protect the health and

safety of the public living in the vicinity

of the plant. The offsite radiological

emergency response plans and

preparedness are assessed as adequate

in that there is reasonable assurance that

appropriate protective measures can be

taken offsite in the event of a

radiological emergency and that the

plans are capable of being implemented.

‘‘The prompt alert and notification

system installed and operational around

the Indian Point Nuclear Power

Generating Station was previously

approved by FEMA on March 27, 1992,

in accordance with the criteria of

NUREG–0654/FEMA–REP–1, Rev. 1,

Appendix 3, and FEMA–REP–10,

‘‘Guide for the Evaluation of Alert and

Notification Systems for Nuclear Power

Plants.’’

‘‘Accordingly, I approve the New

York State and local offsite radiological

emergency response plans and

preparedness, site-specific to the Indian

Point Nuclear Power Generating Station.

FEMA will continue to review the status

of offsite plans and preparedness sitespecific to the Indian Point Nuclear

Power Generating Station in accordance

with Section 350.13 of the FEMA Rule.

‘‘For further details with respect to

this action, refer to Docket File No.
