Dear Mr. MacDonald:

^

Your office reviously extended NRC Certificate of Compliance USA /9853/B(

F for one-year to allow time for the DOE Packaging f(

Certification Office to complete an update of the Safety Analysis Report for Packaging (SARP) and to complete a confirmatory review of thez documentation in the SARP.

~

Although our-office had requested 18-mciith extensions for several ~other packagings undergoing a similar update / review, we felt that the 9853 j

design would take significantly less than a year's time to complete we therefore requested only a one-year extension.

4 Althougn the review process is going well, we can now see' that-the one-year extension was not enough and we will be unable to meet the current expiration date of October 31, 1990, ia l

We are therefore requesting an additional extension of one-year to October 31, 1991.

<0ur confirmatory review has found nothing that affectsLthe safety of the l

package design. The problems uncovered so far are deficiencies in the.

L SARP where documentation is incomplete.

If any significant safety

(;

concerns are uncovered as the review progresses, we will notify you promptly.

Should you re me (353-5394) quire any: further information on this situation, please call or Bob Towell (353-3954) on my staff.

Sincerely, (W<f M

JAmesF'. Leonard, Chief Packaging Certification Staff Office of Quality Programs Environment, Safety and Health I
