A Management Review Board (MRB) composed of senior NRC managers (with an Agreement State liaison attending) makes the final determination of adequacy for each Agreement State. The MRB holds a public meeting and makes the overall assessment of the Agreement State program. The MRB considers information such as the proposed final IMPEP report, which presents suggested performance indicator ratings and recommendations prepared by the IMPEP review team, the State response to the IMPEP report and information provided by the State during the MRB meeting. For most IMPEP reviews, no action other than issuance of the final IMPEP report is required. For those infrequent reviews where additional action is warranted, the MRB may consider Monitoring, Heightened Oversight, and recommendations for Probation, Suspension, or Termination. The most significant actions, Probation, Suspension, or Termination, require Commission approval. In 2008, the MRB placed the Georgia Program under a condition of monitoring due to the results of the 2008 IMPEP review of the Georgia Program. The Commission placed the Georgia Program on probation based on the 2012 IMPEP review, which showed an overall programmatic decline in performance. The NRC issued a notice regarding the probation status of the Georgia Program in the Federal Register on August 9, 2013 (78 FR 48726). After the most recent IMPEP review in 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14121A618), the MRB found the overall Georgia Program adequate to protect public health and safety, and compatible with the NRC program requirements, but that it needs improvement. The MRB found that the Georgia Program performance improved overall since the 2012 review and closed several recommendations from the 2012 report. As a result of the State’s improvement, the MRB recommended to the Commission that the Georgia Program be placed on Heightened Oversight and removed from Probation. The Commission agreed that the Georgia Program should be removed from Probation. The NRC has issued a notification of discontinuance of the Probation period to the Governor of Georgia, the Georgia Congressional delegation, and all other Agreement and Non-Agreement States.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 274b. of the Atomic Energy Act of 
1954, as amended (AEA), provides the statutory basis by which the NRC 
relinquishes, by agreement with a State, portions of its regulatory 
authority to license and regulate byproduct materials, source 
materials, and quantities of special nuclear materials under critical 
mass, when the NRC determines that the State has an adequate radiation 
control program to protect public health and safety, which is 
compatible with the NRC's program. Through the Agreement State program, 
37 States have signed formal agreements with the NRC.
    Section 274j of the AEA requires that the NRC periodically review 
each Agreement State to ensure each State's regulatory program is 
adequate to protect public health and safety and compatible with the 
NRC's regulatory program. The NRC reviews Agreement State radiation 
control programs, using performance indicators, to ensure that public 
health and safety is being adequately protected. The periodic review 
process for Agreement State programs is called the Integrated Materials 
Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP).
    A Management Review Board (MRB) composed of senior NRC managers 
(with an Agreement State liaison attending) makes the final 
determination of adequacy for each Agreement State. The MRB holds a 
public meeting and makes the overall assessment of the Agreement State 
program. The MRB considers information such as the proposed final IMPEP 
report, which presents suggested performance indicator ratings and 
recommendations prepared by the IMPEP review team, the State response 
to the IMPEP report and information provided by the State during the 
MRB meeting. For most IMPEP reviews, no action other than issuance of 
the final IMPEP report is required. For those infrequent reviews where 
additional action is warranted, the MRB may consider Monitoring, 
Heightened Oversight, and recommendations for Probation, Suspension, or 
Termination. The most significant actions, Probation, Suspension, or 
Termination, require Commission approval.
    In 2008, the MRB placed the Georgia Program under a condition of 
monitoring due to the results of the 2008 IMPEP review of the Georgia 
Program. The Commission placed the Georgia Program on probation based 
on the 2012 IMPEP review, which showed an overall programmatic decline 
in performance. The NRC issued a notice regarding the probation status 
of the Georgia Program in the Federal Register on August 9, 2013 (78 FR 
48726).
    After the most recent IMPEP review in 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML14121A618), the MRB found the overall Georgia Program adequate to 
protect public health and safety, and compatible with the NRC program 
requirements, but that it needs improvement. The MRB found that the 
Georgia Program performance improved overall since the 2012 review and 
closed several recommendations from the 2012 report. As a result of the 
State's improvement, the MRB recommended to the Commission that the 
Georgia Program be placed on Heightened Oversight and removed from 
Probation. The Commission agreed that the Georgia Program should be 
removed from Probation. The NRC has issued a notification of 
discontinuance of the Probation period to the Governor of Georgia, the 
Georgia Congressional delegation, and all other Agreement and Non-
Agreement States.
