FEDERAL EMERGENCY

MANAGEMENT AGENCY

Public Meeting; Federal Purchase and

Stockpile of Potassium Iodide for Use

by the General Public in a Radiological

Emergency

AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Notice of Public Meeting.

SUMMARY: FEMA announces the

following committee meeting:

NAME: Federal Radiological

Preparedness Coordinating Committee

(FRPCC), Ad Hoc Subcommittee on

Potassium Iodide (KI).

DATES: The meeting will be held June

27, 1996. Any individuals or

organizations interested in attending the

public meeting or making oral

presentations must so indicate by 4:00

PM, May 31, 1996.

TIME OF MEETING: 10:00 AM–4:00 PM.

PLACE: Federal Emergency Management

Agency, room 401, 500 C Street, SW.,

Washington, DC 20472.

PROPOSED AGENDA: The meeting will

begin at 10:00 AM with a presentation

by the Subcommittee on the background

of the Federal potassium iodide policy.

That presentation will be followed by a

statement of the current issues raised in

the Petition for Rulemaking submitted

to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, and in letters to the

Director of FEMA. The meeting will

then turn to attendees who have

indicated that they want to make oral

presentations, including response to any

questions that may be asked by

members of the Subcommittee. The

meeting will adjourn after the

Subcommittee and attendees have

completed their presentations and any

interaction on the subject matter.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FRPCC issued its policy on the use of

KI as a thyroid blocking agent on July

24, 1985 (50 FR 30258). On December 6,

1994, the FRPCC adopted a September

15, 1994 report and recommendations of

the Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Potassium

Iodide after review of the issues

affecting the purchase and stockpile of

KI by the Federal government. The Ad

Hoc Subcommittee found no basis for

changing the 1985 Federal policy,

which states that KI should be

purchased and stockpiled for emergency

workers and institutionalized persons,

and that the decision on its use as a

protective action for the general public

resides with the State, and in some

cases, with local health authorities.

The FRPCC is again reviewing the

issue of the Federal purchase, stockpile

and use of KI by the general public in

the event of a radiological emergency at

a commercial nuclear power plant. The

Petition for Rulemaking submitted to

the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission requests that 10 CFR Part

50.47(a)(10) be revised to read: ‘‘A range

of protective actions, including

sheltering, evacuation, and prophylactic

use of iodine, have been developed for

the plume exposure EPZ [emergency

planning zone] for emergency workers

and the general public.’’ In addition, the

same Petitioner requested FEMA to

reconsider the 1985 Federal Policy.

Accordingly, the Federal Radiological

Preparedness Coordinating Committee

formed an Ad Hoc Subcommittee to

review and re-evaluate the issue.

The meeting will be open to the

public with approximately 30 seats

available on a first-come, first-served

basis. Individuals or representatives of

organizations who plan to attend the

meeting or make oral presentations

should contact William F. McNutt,

Chairman, Federal Radiological

Preparedness Coordinating Committee,

Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Potassium

Iodide, room 634, Federal Emergency

Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW.,

Approval of the State of New York

Radiological Emergency Response

Plan Site-specific to the Indian Point

Nuclear Power Generating Station

AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: FEMA gives notice of its

approval of the State of New York

Radiological Emergency Response Plan

site-specific to the Indian Point Nuclear

Power Generating Station located in

Westchester County, New York.

DATES: This approval is effective as of

May 3, 1996.

Regional Director, FEMA Region II, 26

FEMA–REP–2–NY–3.

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.

this action, refer to Docket File No.
