Dear Mr. MacDonald:
Enclosed are copies of International Atomic Energy Agency Certificates USA /0220/ AFT (revalidatingJ/79/AF)andJ/74/AF.
Certificate USA /0220/ AFT was issued partly on the basis of the similarity between J/79/AF and NBC Certificate of Conpliance No. 9019. We have been requested to revalidate J/74/AF which is for the same packaging but for a higher uranium-235 enrichment of the contents.
Please review the package contents specified in J/74/AF and let me know if these are suitable.
Sincerely, Richard R. RAWL Chief, Radioactive Materials Branch Office of Ilazardous Materials Regulation Materials Transportation Bureau Enclosures c(/} GC m nfQY i
