Dear Dr. Lipoti:

This responds to your September 5,1997, letter. Your letter addresses NRC's adoption of a 10 CFR Part 34 requirement for the certification of industrial radiographers and included the recommendations of CRCPD's G 34 Committee for reviewing a certifying entity's application.

The comments and recommendations were welcome and were put to immediate use by the NRC and Organization of Agreement States (OAS) working group tasked to establish evaluation criteria for independent certifying entitles and to review an application submitted by the American Socity of Nondestructive Testing to become a certifying entity for industrial radiography.

The working group met on September 1718,1997, to formulate criteria for reviewing a certifying entity's application. The suggestions submitted by the G 34 Committee helped form the basis for discussion during the meeting. Many G 34 recommendations, after revision to meet NRC and Agreement State needs, were incorporated into the review criteria.

The ability to use the experience and expertise of the Agreement States, CRCPD, and the OAS saves NRC resources and contributes to uniform national standards in radiation protection.

We at NRC believe that the joint activities of the CRCPD, the OAS, the Agreement and non-Agreement States will continue to be of value in the future.

If you have any questions, you may contact me at (301) 415-1713 or Richard L Bangart, Director, Office of State Programs, at (301) 415 3340 or RLB2@NRC. GOV.
