MEMORANDUM FOR: Richard E. Cunningham, Director Division of Fuel Cycle and Material Safety, NMSS FROM:
Robert B. Minogue, Director Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research
SUBJECT:
PROPOSED REVISION OF 10 CFR PART 35 I have reviewed the proposed revision of 10 CFR Part 35 that accompanied your August 17 memo.
I concur in this proposed rulemaking with the following condition.
While I realize that there are not many persons who are currently general licensees because most require the higher possession limits provided in Groups I through III, I do believe that these licensees are the only group which may be significantly affected by this rulemaking which proposes to combine the general license with the lowest risk use group of the proposed specific license.
Therefore I suggest the following:
(1) Either ' grandfather' the current general licensees so they are not affected by the proposed rulemaking; or (2) Since the general licensees currently submit a registration ie l form, notify them of this proposed rulemaking and requeste Z(t that they reply if they are interested in maintaining the d"~$
7 level of use afforded by the general license. They would

f Failure to reply would indicate no interest in maintaining general licensee status.
4M'".
f I believe that either of these alternatives would be acceptable to accomodate any impact felt by the current general licensees. With such a clarification.
I concur in this proposed revision to 10 CFR Part 35.
