SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA’s
Radiological Emergency Preparedness
(REP) Program coordinates the national
effort to provide State, Tribal and local
governments with relevant and
executable planning, training, and
exercise guidance and policies
necessary to ensure that adequate
capabilities exist to prevent, protect
against, mitigate the effects of, respond
to, and recover from incidents involving
commercial nuclear power plants
(NPPs).
The REP Program assists State, Tribal
and local governments in the
development and conduct of off-site
REP emergency planning and
preparedness activities within the
emergency planning zones (EPZs) of
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)licensed commercial nuclear power
facilities. Sec. 109 of the NRC
Authorization Act of 1980 (Public Law
96–295) directed the NRC to establish
emergency preparedness as a criterion
for licensing commercial NPPs.
Specifically, section 109 of Public Law
96–295 directed the NRC to establish
through rulemaking, (a) standards,
developed with FEMA, for the
evaluation of State and local
government radiological emergency
planning and preparedness; and (b) a
requirement that the NRC will issue
operating licenses. Before issuing a
license the NRC must determine that
there is (i) a State or local emergency
response plan compliant with the
standards developed with FEMA or (ii)
in the absence of such a plan, a State,
local, or utility emergency response
plan that provides reasonable assurance
that public health and safety is not
endangered by the NPP’s operation. See
Public Law 96–295, 109(b)(1)(A)–(B)).
The NRC revised its regulations in Part

24APN1
jbell on DSK30RV082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 79 / Wednesday, April 24, 2019 / Notices
50 of Title 10 of the CFR to incorporate
additional emergency preparedness
requirements, including 16 planning
standards for onsite and offsite
emergency plans as required by PL 96–
295. FEMA mirrors these 16 planning
standards in part 350, specifically at 44
CFR 350.5. In the communities
surrounding commercial NPPs, 44 CFR
350.5(b) directs FEMA’s REP Program to
review offsite radiological emergency
plans and preparedness. Approved
plans and preparedness ‘‘must be
determined to adequately protect the
public health and safety by providing
reasonable assurance that appropriate
protective measures can be taken offsite
in the event of a radiological
emergency.’’ FEMA defines reasonable
assurance as a determination that State,
Tribal, local, and utility offsite plans
and preparedness are adequate to
protect public health and safety in the
emergency planning areas of
commercial NPPs. FEMA will consider
plans, procedures, personnel, training,
facilities, equipment, drills, and
exercises, which in its professional
judgment are important to the effective
implementation of protective measures
offsite in the event or any incident at a
commercial NPP. FEMA will make its
adequacy determination, supported by
other Federal agencies, as necessary, by
conducting inspections, providing Staff
Assistance Visits (SAVs), organizing,
conducting and reviewing training,
participating in, observing and
evaluating drills and exercises, and by
being an engaged partner with Federal,
State, Tribal, and local government
officials and industry stakeholders.
State, Tribal, or local government
participation in offsite radiological
emergency planning and preparedness
is voluntary. However, participation in
the REP planning and preparedness
process necessitates adherence to the
program requirements as set forth in 44
CFR part 350, the joint NRC/FEMA
document NUREG–0645/FEMA–REP–1,
Rev. 1, ‘‘Criteria for Preparation and
Evaluation of Radiological Emergency
Response Plans and Preparedness in
Support of Nuclear Power Plants’’ (and
supplements), and the REP Program
Manual (RPM). If State, Tribal, or local
governments choose not to participate
in REP planning, 44 CFR part 352
outlines the licensee’s obligation to
develop offsite plans/procedures to
protect the public health and safety in
accordance with the requirements in
Executive Order 12657, as amended.
