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.
