The Honorable Alan Simpson Chairman, Subcommittee on Nuclear '
Regulation Consnittee on Environment and Public Works United States Senate Washington, DC 20510
Dear Mr. Chainnan:
The Nuclear Regulatory Connission (NRC) has sent to the Office of the Federal Register for publication the enclosed revision to the Conunission's rules in 10 CFR Parts 30, 40, and 70.
This action extends to our Region IV Office the licensing authority they already possess for most other Federal licensees to include the United States Air Force licensing activities. Because the Air Force program is administered from Brooks Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, NRC's Region IV Office in Arlington, Texas, is the appropriate one to regulate the program. A similar Delegation of Authority is anticipated for the United States Navy program in 1987.
This rule will take effect on October 1,1986.
Sincerely,
. //jA t f-< Nl>

DAILY STAFF NOTES DIVISION OF FUEL CYCLE AND MATERIAL SAFETY OFFICE OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL SAFETY AND SAFEGUARDS Final Rule to be Signed by EDO On , 1986, the Executive Director for Operations approved a final rule which revised 10 CFR Parts 30, 40, and 70. This revision informs the public of an action that transfers the nuclear materials licensing authority for the United States Air Force license from Headquarters to the appropriate Regional office (i.e., Region IV). Nearly all other Federal licenses were transferred to the appropriate Regions in April 1985 under a similar Delegation of Authority and Federal _ Register Notice. The only Federal licensee not now under Regional authority is the United States Navy which is in the process of a major license modification. Following this modification, it is intended that the licensing authority for the Navy will be extended to the appropriate Region. .
This constitutes notice to the Commission that, in accordance with the rulemaking authority delegated to the EDO, the ED0 has signed the final rule
- and proposes to forward it on , 1986 to th'e Office of the Federal Register for publication, unless otherwise directed by the Commission.

DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY FOR ED0 PUBLICATION APPROVAL Approved for Publication-The Commission delegated to the ED0 (10 CFR 1.40(c) and (d)) the authority to develop and promulgate rules as defined in the APA (5 U.S.C. 551(4)) subject to the limitations in NRC Manual Chapter 0.103, Organization and Functions, Office of the Executive Director for Operations, paragraphs 0213, 038, and 0310. The enclosed final rule entitled, " Regional Nuclear Materials Licensing for the United States Air Force," amends 10 CFR Parts 30, 40, and 70 to include the United States Air Force license in the decentralized materials licensing program.
This final rule does not constitute a significant question of policy, nor does it amend regulations contained in 10 CFR Parts 7, 8, 9 Subpart C concerning
, matters of policy. I, therefore, find that this final rule is within the scope of my rulemaking authority and am proceeding to issue it.
