Dear Ms. Prange:

/l ij !

Oregon State University (OSU) hereby requests amendment of Special g[% )J Nuclear Materials Ucense SNM 918 to reflect a change in the V organizational structure of OSU.

om,s Effective September 21,1992, the Radiation Safety Officer reports to the Manager of Environmental and Public Safety, who in turn reports to the Director of Facilities Services. The Director of Facilities Services reports to the Vice President for Finance and kJministration. The new organizational chart as it relates to the Radiation Safety Office is attached as Appendix A; Appendix B shows the former structure, aminuue,s. nun =

con.un,o"5"" The Radiation Safety Committee will continue to be appointed by the

""" Vice President for Finance and Administration. The Radiation Safety Officer still has the authority to temporarily suspend activities if in his opinion the action is necessary to prevent an unsafe condition or to protect the public health. Consistent with current policy, all such actions are reviewed by the Radiation Safety Committee. The Radiation Safety Officer will continue to have access to the Vice President for Finance and Administration, as needed, to resolve radiation safety problems.

Enclosed is Appendix C, a revised Statement of Radiation Safety Program Responsibilitics for your review. The statement reflects the changes in management structure, and includes the responsibilities of the newly-created Director of Facilities Services.

Please let me know if you have any questions g if you require additional information, gf w rue Sincerely, ~=
