EXT: Administrative/Editorial Changes to SNM-960 Importance: High Mr. Murray:
This is in regard to Mr. Matt J. Feyrers, letter dated March 20, 2019 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession Number ML19079A195),
requesting the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to amend special nuclear
materials license number 960 (SNM-960).
The NRC staff review of the request is almost complete. However, during the review of the request, the NRC staff identified additional administrative changes and corrections that were needed for consistency of the information throughout the SNM-960 license. The changes described are being provided for your review/comments before we finalize our review of Mr. Feyrers request.
I would appreciate your response on, comments and approval of the proposed administrative changes by not later than May 10, 2019.
Please contact me should you have any questions.
