Control Nos. 463640 N 63639 U.S. Department of Interior ATTN: Harry A. Tourtelot Assistant Chief Geologist Central Region Geological Survey Box 25046 M.S. 205 Denver Federal Center Denver, Colorado 80225 Gentlemen:
This letter is regarding your decommissioning financial assurance submittal dated July 17, 1990, for your Byproduct Material License Nos. 05-01399-08 and SNM-111. Upon reviewing your submittal we noted that more information is needed to evaluate your submittal. In this submittal you have estimated that total decommissioning cost for both of your licenses would be $1,000,000. To justify that amount we need additional information. NRC requires that you .
either identify the relevant certification amounts for the licenses or submit additional detail on the cost estimate using the " Cost Estimating Tables" in Appendix F of the draft Regulatory Guide " Standard Format and Content of Financial Assurance Mechanisms Required for Decommissioning Under 10 CFR Parts 30, 40, 70, and 72" (January 1990) to show that you have provided reasonable cost estimates for all major decommissioning activities. In addition, you should also incorporate a contingency factor of 25 percent into your estimate, and should clarify that you have not included in your cost estimate credit for any salvage value that may be realized with the sale of l potential assets after decommissioning. (See page 1-13 of the draft Regulatory Guide.) Finally, as required under 10 CFR 30.35(e) and 70.25(e), you should describe the means you will use to adjust your decommissioning cost " estimate-and associated funding level over the life of the facility. Adjustments should be made to account for inflation, other changes in prices of specific goods and
- ervices, changes in facility conditions, and changes in expected decommissioning procedures.
The assistant chief geologist and the regional hydrologist signed the statement of intent, both of the Central Region of the Geological Survey. The submission-did not contain any evidence that these officials are authorized to sign a statement of intent for the Geological Survey. Therefore, we request that you submit such evidence.

Dear Sir:
Re: Licenses 05-1399-08 and-SNM-lll-,
in response to your letter of Ma/ 2,1990, this correspondence provides a method of financial assurance for funds to comply with 10 CFR 30.35, "Fina-ncial Assurance ard Recerdkeeping for Decommissioning."
It is the intent of the U. S. Geological Survey that funds for decommissioning the research programs identified with these licenses will be obtained as necessary to prevent unnecessary delays in the final disposition of the radioactive materials. The USGS estimates that the total decommissioning costs will be S1 million in current fiscal year funds.
