Gentlemen:
The purpose of this letter is to apply for an amendment of'the SNM-ll56 license granted September 30, 1969 and renewed on September 30, 1974.
This license and amend-ments accurately describe conditions of use of sealed sources of plutonium in our facilities except as out-lined in this letter.
In a letter dated September'5, 1974 from Bobby I. Griffin' M " C*$$
,to James:RinMason requesting A renewal'ofithe SNM-1156i a;

O Mr.-Bernard Singer, Chief April 8, 1976 Page Two Amendment 11, Condition 8:
Delete " Donald W. Douglas--
Isomite and."
Amendment 12, Condition 11:
Should be amended as follows:
1.
Change "May 23, 1976" to
""ay.23, 1977."
2.
Change "at the end of this-three year period not more than 720" to "at the end of this four year period.not more than 960."
We are requesting the change to Amendment 11, Condition 8 because we are presently receiving nuclear power sources at a rate greater than we are selling Model 9000 pacemakers.. This is occuring because recent-purchase orders for nuclear power sources were placed assuming approval for widescale use of nuclear powered cardiac pacemakers and, therefore, significantly ex-panded usage.
It should be noted that firm purchase orders for nuclear power sources must be made more than a year in advance of the first delivery.
We are requesting a change in Amendzent 12, Condition g
11 because our license to implant Model 9000's will expire on May 23,'1976 unless widescale use is approved or an extension of our license is granted.
All other requested changes.are self explanatory.
Your prompt attention would be greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours, MEDTRONIC, INC.
