x-Centlemen:
The Nuclear Regulatory Com-5 ssion is considering me thods for increasing the frequency of its contact with certain byproduct.caterials licensees.
In lieu of ir. creasing the frequency of onsite inspections, the NRC is considering a program that would require certain licensees to respond to a survey ques tionnaire 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 bene ficial to both the NRC and the licensees, we are conducting a voluntary one-time of the questionnaire program. Your license is in the category of test low inspection priority licenses and has been selected for inclusion in this voluntary program. We reques t your cooperation in the prograc and ask you to co=plete and return the enclosed survey questionnaire within 30 days.
No enforcement action will be taken as a result of answers to this questionnaire.
Rather, its purpose is to serve as a retinder of your responsibilities for adhering to the requirements of NRC regulati: s and the ';E C lice nse unde r vr.ich your ope rations are conducted--the que s :. or. s in :ne enclosed survey are pe r t ine n t to some of the core 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 ir.spector.
If you have any 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 312-858-2660.
Sincerely, b
ames G. KeppleS Y Director
