Dear Mr. Ratliff:

This is in response to your September 28,1998 and two October 7,1998 letters regarding the Texas Department of Health's (TDH) three proposals to remove part of areas from uranium recovery licenses for unrestricted use. In those letters, you asked if the NRC wishes additional material or information in order to make determinations regarding concurrence with your proposals.

In accordance with Section 274c of the Atomic Energy Act (Act), as amended, prior to termination of a specific license for 11e.(2) material, the NRC is required to make a determination that all applicable standards and requirements have been met. Your proposals deal with license amendments that terminate a portion of the site from each license instead of terminating the entire license. To fulfill our responsibilities under the Act, we will treat each license amendment as a partial" license termination" and the NRC will make a concurrence determination for each of your proposals. 1 We are currently in the process of developing policy and supporting regulatory guidance to specify the extent of the information that NRC would need from an Agreement State to make this determination. We will advise you if NRC needs additional material or information when we complete review of your submittals based on that policy and guidance. We expect to complete the policy guidance in March 1999.

If we can be of further assistance in this regard, please contact me or Kevin Hsueh at (301) 415-2598.
