6 Gentlemen:
d7T1@\\@
This is in response to your letters dated February 18 and March 6,1981 which transmitted revised pages to Chapters 1.0,3.0 and 4.0 of your Fundamental Nuclear Material Control Plan.
We have determined that one of the revisions involving control charting of repli-cate measurement data is unacceptable.
Specifically, we cannot accept your justification for deleting the commitment to control chart such data. The Regulations in 10 CFR 70.57(b)(11) require the use of control charts to monitor the quality of each type of program measurement. We are not averse to consider-ing the use of deminimis quantities for determining the need for control chart-ing replicate information, but the potential impact on the LEID and ID both must be addressed. Any questions on acceptable deminimis levels should be addressed to Mr. C. Emeigh of my staff.
With the exception of the revision cited above, we have determined that your proposed revisions will not adversely affect the coninon defense and security nor the public health and safety. Accordingly, in order to incorporate these revisions, we are hereby revising License Condition 2.1 of Amendment MPP-1 to.
your License No. SNM-368, as contained in the enclosure, to be effective immediately.
We have determined that the enclosures to your letters dated February 18 and l
March 6,1981 contain information of a type specified in 10 CFR 2.790(d).
l Accordingly, pursuant to Section 2.790(d)(1), such information is deemed to be commercial or financial information within the meaning of 10 CFR 9.5(a)(4) and shall be subject to disclosure only in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 9.12.
Sincerely, f)$1W f /A Robert A. Erickson, Acting Chief Material Control and Accountability Licensing Branch

As stated 8104240225
