SUBJECT:
INSPECTION OF ILLIN0IS LICENSES AND ISSUANCE OF LICENSES
, As you know, Chaimen Zech has received the foms1 request fron Governnr Thompsnn of Illinois for e Section 274 agreenent covering byproduct, source, fomule quantities of special nuclear naterial, and low-leval waste dispostl but excluding uraniun and thoriun nills and mill tailings.
At the present tim- there are approximately 800 naterials licenses in effect in Illinoit. The na.iority are expected to be transferred to Illinois when it assumes Agreement State status.
It has been the Comission's practice in the past to see thct licenses transferred to a new Agreemnt State are not overdue for insper. tion and significar.t catstending inspection and enforcement itens are conpleted by the effective date if at all possible. We understand that P,egion III will be abic tn cono1cte those activities in accordance with IE Manual Chapter 28S2, in order to allow for a smooth transfer of the licenses and that effnru are being made to conplete licensing actions to the maximun extent possible. Ve appreciate your staff's work in thit re gt.rd.
We believe it would bc fruitful to hold a meeting with Region ITI licensing and inspection staf's and approp* fate Illinois staff prior ta the effective date of the agreenent to review the status of any pending and problen cases. We will contact you later on this. This practice worked well in connection with the Iowa agreement.

Dear Joel:
Enclosed please find 25 copies of Part 310, Appendix 351.B. and Illustration 340.A.
There is no scope section to Part 320. Section 320.10(a) clearly states that registration must be undertaken by operators of all facilities, not subject to NRC regulation, where radiation machines are used.
When I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely, f
