This is in regard to your request for approval of routes to be used for i

We have determined that your " Primary Routing" which passes through por-tions of San Francisco-0akland, an urbanized area with total populations exceeding one million persons, does not meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 73.37(a)(3). Accordingly, in view of the existence of an acceptable alternative route, the use of this route is disapproved.
The route designated " Alternate Routing" is judged to neet the regulatory requirements in accordance with 10 CFR Part 73.37 and accordingly is approved.
Based on recommendations b (CHP) the route overview (strip nap) y the California Highway Patrol has been orepared to bypass Fairfield, California. lle concur with the CHP and have prepared the route overview accordingly.
This approval in no way attests to the traffic and highway safety of the route nor implies an NRC endorsement thereof from a traffic and highway safety standpoint. Also the approval does not cuarantee that there will be no local or state legislation applicable to the route that restricts or prohibits the novement of radioactive naterials.
During the winter months when inclement weather with accompanying hazardous road conditions can occur with short notice, the aopropriate state police should be contacted with recard to road conditions before a shipment commences.
In this regard the California Highway Patrol, Northern Division Headquarters at Redding, California (Ph. (915) 241-5407) and the Oregon State Police, District V Headquarters at Bend, Orecon (Ph. (503) 382-4087) can provide current road and weather conditiens.
