May 16, 2019 Mr. Richard W. Boyle Radioactive Materials Branch U.S. Department of Transportation 400 Seventh Street, S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20590
SUBJECT:
CERTIFICATE OF APPROVAL NO. F/410/B(U)-96 FOR THE MANON PACKAGE
Dear Mr. Boyle:
By letter dated November 5, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18192B1310), as supplemented on May 9, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19135A160), the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) requested that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff perform a review of the French Certificate of Approval F/41 O/B(U)-96 Revision Ad, for the Model No. MANON transport package and make a recommendation concerning the revalidation of the package for import and export use.
Specifically, you requested that the NRC only review the content in Appendix 3 to the French certificate. The NRC staff performed an acceptance review of your application to determine whether the application contains sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete a detailed technical review per the International Atomic Energy Agency Specific Safety Requirements No. 6, Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material, 2012 Edition.
This letter informs you that the application appears to contain the necessary information to begin our technical review. We have established a schedule for the technical review of your amendment request. The schedule allows for the staff to issue a possible request for additional information by the end of July 2019, and a recommendation on revalidation and safety evaluation report by the end of October 2019, based on DOT responding to a request for additional information by the end of August 2019. If no additional information is needed, the recommendation for revalidation and safety evaluation report may be issued the end of July 2019. The staff estimates that completing the safety review of this application will require approximately 450 staff review hours.
R. Boyle Please reference Docket No. 71-3094 in any future correspondence related to these actions. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at (301) 415-6577.
Sincerely,
/RA/
