[Docket ID FEMA-2025-0080]
State of Michigan Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan
AGENCY:
Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland Security.
ACTION:
Notice of receipt of plan; notice of availability.
SUMMARY:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is announcing the receipt of an application from the State of Michigan for the review and approval of the State's radiological emergency plan. For continued operation of nuclear power plants, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission requires approved licensee and State and local governments' radiological emergency response plans. Since FEMA has a responsibility for reviewing the State and local government off-site radiological emergency response plans, the State of Michigan has submitted its radiological emergency response plan to the FEMA Region 5 office. The State's application also included the radiological emergency response plans for Allegan, Berrien and Van Buren counties. These plans support Holtec International's Palisades Nuclear Generating Station located in Van Buren County, Michigan.
DATES:
This application was received on May 30, 2025.
ADDRESSES:
The State's application is available for review at the FEMA Region 5 office located at 536 S Clark Street, 6th Floor, Chicago, IL 60605. Contact Sean O'Leary at sean.oleary@fema.dhs.gov to arrange to review the application in the office. A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request can be submitted to fema-foia@fema.dhs.gov. In accordance with the Department of Homeland Security's FOIA regulations, component agencies shall charge for processing requests under FOIA in accordance with the provisions of 6 CFR 5.11. 1
