Dear Chairman Jackson:
1 I am writing to formally request that an agreement be established between the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the State of Ohio as authorized under Section 274b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the Ohio Revised Code, Chapter 3748.03. Under this agreement the Commission will discontinue and the State of Ohio will assume certain regulatory authority for radioactive materials now under federaljurisdiction. As provided by R.C. Section 3748.03(B), the Department of Health is the agency responsible for the implementation of the agreement. The specific authority requested is for the following:
A. Byproduct materials as defined in Section 1le(l) of the Act, B. Byproduct materials as defined in Section 1le(2) of the Act, C. Source materials, D. Special nuclear materials in quantities not sufficient to form a critical mass, E. Commercial disposal oflow-level radioactive waste, and F. Sealed source and device review.
I certify that the State of Ohio wants to assume regulatory authority and oversight responsibility for such materials, and that the State of Ohio has an adequate program for the control of radiation hazards covered by this proposed agreement. Enclosed is information describing Ohio's j
radiation control program and regulatory capabilitics, as well as a copy of our rt.diation control laws and rules.
Your expeditious consideration of this proposed agreement is most appreciated.
