Mr. Aarron K. Nichols May 16, 1997 Assistant Radiation Safety Officer Magna Chek 2125 Ri Warren.ggs Street MI 48091

Dear Mr. Nichols:

We have received your letter dated April 21, 1997, in which you requested renewal of your Quality A.ssurance (OA) Approval for Radioactive Material Packages No. 0736. Revision No. O. Please note that with your request, your QA Program Approval is under timely renewal and you may continue your trans-portation activities in accordance with your current QA program.

At this time, however. for Part 34 licensees, we are not issuing Certificates of Approval for renewal of QA Programs as in the past because the ap-)licable regulations are going to change in the near future. Specifically.1) CFR Part 34 " Licenses for Radiography and Radiation Safety Requirements for Radiogra) hic Operations, has been revised and will be effective later in 1997. T1e revised 10 CFR Part 34 will include the requirements for QA 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 apply separately for an NRC OA 3rogram approval will no longer be required after the revised 10 CFR Part 34 las been implemented.

There is no need for you to res)ond to this letter. NRC will contact you when the revised 10 CFR Part 34 has Jeen issued. If you have any questions re 41garding

-8563 this letter, you may contact Mr. T. Matula of my staff at (301)

Sj ocerely.
