SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency (FEMA) Rule 44 CFR, Part 350, the State of Rhode 
Island submitted its ingestion pathway plan in support of the overall 
emergency preparedness for the Millstone Nuclear Power Plant and 
Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. The plan was submitted to the Regional

Regional Director forwarded a recommendation for formal approval of the

was based on a review of the plan; the joint exercise conducted on 
August 10-11, 1999, in accordance with section 350.9 for the exercise 
for Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station; and, a report of the public meeting

Nuclear Power Plant plan for Connecticut Communities in accordance with 
section 350.10. Based on an overall evaluation, I find and determine 
that the State of Rhode Island Ingestion Pathway plans can be 
implemented and are adequate to protect the health and safety of the 
public living in the Rhode Island portion of the ingestion pathway of 
Millstone Nuclear Power Plant and Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station by 
providing reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can 
be taken in the event of an accident at either one of these sites. FEMA 
will continue to review the status of the ingestion pathway plan in 
accordance with Sections 350.5 and 350.9.

    Dated: May 16, 2000.

Associate Director for Preparedness, Training, and Exercises.
