W 2 8 1999 Mr. Richard A. Ratliff, P.E., Chief Bureau of Radiation Control Texas Department of Health 1100 West 4Mb Street Austin, Texas 78756-3198

Dear Mr. Ratliff:

This is in response to your January 15,1999 and two January 20,1999 letters regarding the Texas Department of Health's (TDH) three proposals to partially or fully terminate uranium recovery licenses for unrestricted use. in those letters, you asked that we advise you if additional material or information was needed to make determinations regarding concurrence with your proposals.

As mentioned in our December 1,1998 letter, 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 expect to complete the policy guidance in March 1999.

To expedite the review process, we have reviewed your submittals based on the draft policy guidance in parallel with our activities to prepare and issue final guidance. Additional information that we need prior to making our determination is documented in the Enclosure.

Please note that additional information may be requested based on the final guidance.

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