The normal procedure to initiate a mission is to register the proposed
trip plan to the Pacific Area Support Office of the Department of Energy.
Cnce informed of the proposed schedule, PASO will notify the appropriate local
and federal auchorization of the Marshall Islands government.
£ changes in
scheduling are necessary, they are usually accomplished at this time.
The
PASO representative is always the official link between 3NL and the Marshall
Islands people and government both
prior to and during a field trip.
Upon arrival at the designated atoll, a local meeting with atoll authorities is required to inZorn the local sersonel of the field trip plans and
scheduling.
This serves as a question and answer period for the people parti-
cipating in the monitoring program and is an important aspect of the success~
ful completion of the field trip.
