This is in response to your July 26, 1979 letter to George W. McCorkle, Chief of the Physical Security Licensing Branch of my organization, wherein you requested suspension of reviews and approvals of license amendments wherever possible.
I have acceded to your request insofar as possible.
I have also furnished a copy of your letter to the Division of Fuel Cycle and Material Safety for information.
Certain licensing reviews and approvals related to physical security requirements cannot be suspended.
For example,10 CFR Part 73 requires the submission, approval and implementation of a Guard Training and Qualification Plan. Since you still possess a quantity of special nuclear material of the type requiring adherence to 10 CFR Part 73, you may not withdraw the plan which you submitted for our review and approval. As you know, that plan has been found acceptable subject only to your submission of a schedule of training and qualification and payment of the appropriate fee.
(See letters from George W. McCorkle dated June 22 and 27,1979.)
Regardless of peripheral considerations, as long as you are subject to 10 CFR 73 there is no alternative to insisting upon compliance with the provisions of that regulation. Therefore, a schedule for the training and qualification of the members of the ecurity organization to perform each assigned security job duty is hereby ordered by revising License Condition 9.1.C and adding License Condition 9.1.C.1 of Materials and Plant Protection Amendment, MPP-2, to your License No. SNM-777 as set forth in the enclosure to this letter, effective immediately upon receipt of this letter. This order requires that the plan be followed 60 days after receipt of this letter as provided by 10 CFR 73.50(h).

. It has been determined that the prompt establishment of these measures is required in the interest of the common defense and security, and that the public health, safety, and interest require that this order be made effective immediately upon receipt by you.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.204 you may request a hearing within 20 days of the date of this notice with respect to all or any part of the additional con-ditions set forth in the enclosure to this letter. However, because this order has been made effective immediately upon receipt, a request for a hearing will not defer its effective date.
With respect to the payment of fee for review of the Guard Training and Qualification Plan, be advised that we have applied the unused portion of your fee submission for the Safeguards Contingency Plan to that due for review of the Guard Training and Qualification Plan. The manpower effort for review and approval of your Safeguards Contingency Plan totals $7,562.
The manpower effort for the Guard Training and Qualification Plan totals
$1,900. The combined fee due is therefore $9,462. Application of the
$8,300 fee already received for the Safeguards Contingency Plan leaves a balance due of $1,162.
Payment of this amount should be made to the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission and submitted within 15 days of the receipt of this letter.
Sincerely, I
-* b Robert F. Burnett, Director Division of Safeguards
