SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For continued operation of nuclear power 
plants, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission requires approved licensee 
and State and local government's radiological emergency response plans. 
In support of the Federal requirement for emergency response plans, our 
rule, ``Review and Approval of State and Local Radiological Emergency 
Plans and Preparedness,'' (44 CFR 350) describes our procedures for 
review and approval of State and local government's radiological 
emergency response plans. Under 44 CFR 350.7, ``Application by State 
for Review and Approval,'' the State of Washington submitted its 
Radiological Emergency Plan for the State of Washington and affected 
counties to the FEMA Region X Office for review and approval under 44 
CFR Part 350.
    Included are radiological emergency response plans and procedures 
of the Washington State Departments of Agriculture, Emergency 
Management, and Health, as well as for local governments that are 
wholly or partially within the emergency planning zones of WNP-2.
    Copies of the plans are available for review and copying at the 
FEMA Region X Office, or we will make available upon request under the 
fee schedule for FEMA Freedom of Information Act requests. The fee 
schedule is set out in Subpart C of 44 CFR Part 5. There are 221 pages 
in the Washington State Plan, including 174 pages of annexes and 
appendices.
    Our rule, 44 CFR 350, also calls for a public meeting before our 
approval of the plans. This meeting will be held in accordance with 44 
CFR 350.10 in Richland, Washington, before our approval.

    Dated: May 21, 1999.
David L. de Courcy,
Regional Director.
