The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is considering me thods for increasing the frequency of its contact with certain byproduct _ materials licensees.
In lieu of increasing the frequency of onsite inspections, the NRC is considering a program that would require cer tain licensees to re spond to a survey questionnaire that would be mailed to them on an established frequency, such as at two or three year intervals. The licensees con-sidered for inclusion in this program are those where the licensed activity has a low inherent hazards potential, consequently they are placed in a group of " low inspection priority" licenses.
In order to determine if a questionnaire survey would be beneficial to both the NRC and the licensees, we are conducting a voluntary one-time test of the questionnaire program. Your license is in the category of low inspection priority licenses and has been selected for inclusion in this voluntary program.
'de request your cooperation in the program and ask you to complete and return the enclosed survey questionnaire within 30 days.
No enforcement a: tion will be taken as a result of answers to this questionnaire. Rather, its purpose is to serve as a reminder of your responsibilities for adhering to the requitecents of NRC regulati:ns and
- te NRC lictnse unde r which your operations are conducte d--the ques tions in tne enclosed survey are pertinent to some of the more important of those requirements. Your operations under NRC license will continue to be subject to NRC inspection, and enforcement action may be taken as a result of the findings of a direct inspection by an NRC inspector.
If you have sny questions regarding this request or the NRC inspection program, please call (collect) Dr. Carl J. Paperiello of our Fuel Facilities and Materials Safety Branch, telephone number 312-856-2660.
Sincerely, L 4 )f ~.L.
