SEP 2 31986- AC31-2 MEMORANDUM FOR: - Victor Stello, Jr. Pbd
_ Executive Director for Operations -
FROM: John G. Davis, Director Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards
SUBJECT:
FEDERAL REGISTER NOTICE AND DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY FOR THE U.S. AIR FORCE NUCLEAR MATERIALS LICENSE Enclosed for your signature are the final rule (to be published in the Federal Register) and the Delegation of Authority pertaining to decentralization of the U.S. Air Force license on October 1, 1986.
The subject action transfers licensing authority for one license only from Headquarters to Region IV (the Air Force program is administered from San Antonio, Texas). The action represents a minor administrative amendment, i.e.,
a mailing address change.
When we decentralized nearly all other Federal nuclear materials licenses in 1985, we excluded the U.S. Air Force and Navy because they were in the process of consolidating their many individual licenses into one " master" license each.
At that time, we announced in the Federal Register, the. Daily Staff Notes and in our congressional letters our intention to decentralize these master licenses once the consolidations were made. For the U.S. Air Force, the consolidation is now complete and we believe Region IV will encounter no special problems with this license.
This action represents a minor administrative ' change (revising the Air Force's NRC licensing contact point). In April 1985, the EDO decentralized thousands of other Federal licenses in a similar fashion, without an independent review by the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES), as further implementation of the NRC program to decentralize materials licensing.
The 1985 rule did not represent any change in NRC's licensing philosophy.
Neither does this rulemaking. Ther'efore, we have not forwarded the package through the RES review group.
Also enclosed are the Daily Staff Notes, the Delegation of Authority for EDO publication approva,1, three letters that will notify appropriate congressional committees, and an NMSS analysis of the rulemaking. Based on this analysis, I recommend that you approve the rulemaking, and that you sign both the Federal Register Notice and the Delegation of Authority.
