Agreement State Program Policy Statement

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has revised and consolidated two policy statements on the NRC's Agreement State Programs: The ``Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of Agreement State Programs'' and the ``Statement of Principles and Policy for the Agreement State Program.'' The resulting single policy statement has been revised to add that public health and safety includes physical protection of agreement material \1\ and to reflect comments received from Agreement States, individuals, and the Organization of Agreement States (OAS). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
