FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
Availability of FEMA-REP-19 and FEMA-REP-20
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
ACTION: Notice of Availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: FEMA announces the availability of the documents ``The
Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Planning Manual, FEMA-REP-
19'' and ``The Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Plan Review
Workbook, FEMA-REP-20,'' and requests comments on these documents.
DATES: Comments and responses should be sent no later than January 11,
1996.
ADDRESSES: Comments on ``FEMA-REP-19'' and ``FEMA-REP-20'' should be
sent to the Rules Docket Clerk, Office of the General Counsel, room
840, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington,
DC 20472, (facsimile) (202) 646-4536.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William F. McNutt, Senior Policy
Advisor, Preparedness, Policy and Guidance Branch, Preparedness,
Training and Exercises Directorate, Federal Emergency Management
Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-2857.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The intended use of FEMA-REP-19 is to
provide policy and guidance to State, local and private response
organizations in developing and revising radiological emergency
response plans in support of commercial nuclear power plants. FEMA-REP-
19 is also intended for use by FEMA staff responsible for evaluating
radiological emergency response plans and other Federal staff who
assist FEMA as members of Regional Assistance Committees (RACs). FEMA-
REP-19's companion document, ``The REP Plan Review Workbook, FEMA-REP-
20,'' will be used as a tool to assist FEMA staff and others in
documenting a plan review, and for State personnel interested in
assessing the adequacy of their plans.
These documents are based on the Planning Standards and Evaluation
Criteria in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, and incorporate much of the
previously issued FEMA guidance found in REP-series documents, Guidance
Memoranda (GMs), Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB) rulings,
Appeal Board rulings, United States District Court decisions and
lessons learned over the past 15 years. When issued in final, FEMA-REP-
19 will be the primary source of guidance pertaining to radiological
emergency response planning, and FEMA-REP-20 will be the format for
documenting the adequacy of REP plans.
All comments on these documents will be considered.
Dated: October 6, 1995.
Kay C. Goss,
Associate Director for Preparedness, Training, and Exercises.
