Dear Mr. Hass:

~

We have received your letter dated September 24. 1996. in which you requested  ;

renewal of your Quality Assurance (OA) Approvalafor Radioactive Material Packages No. 0612. Revision No. 2. Please note that

, Approval is under timely renewal' and you, with mayyour request.

continue your your QA Program transportation l activities in accordance with your; cur (ent GA program.

~

At this time, however, for Part 34 licensees, we are not issuing Certificates of Approval for renewal of OA Programs = as in the past 'because the apol1 cable .

regulations are going, to change in the near future. Specifically. 10 CFR Part I

34. " Licenses for Radiography and Radiation Safety Requirements for Radiographic Operations." has been revised and will be effective in early 1997. The revised i 10 CFR Part 34 will include the requirements for 0A activities such as '

procurement, use, maintenance and repair of Type B packages (i .e. . radiography cameras or overpacks) designed to transport sealed sources used for radiography.

The need to copl separately for an NRC QA program approval will no longer be j required after t e revised 10 CFR Part 34 has been implemented.

There is.no need for you to respond to this letter. NRC will contact you when the revised 10 CFR Part 34 has been issued. If you have any guestions re

this letter, you may contact Mr. T. Matula of my staff at (301) 415-856garding ..

i Sincerely.
