Your Quality Assurance Program A> proval No. 0842 is hereby terminated.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission pu)lished a final rule, effective June 27. 1997 revising the requirements of 10 CFR Part 34.

As a result of these changes, a separate NRC QA program approval is no longer needed.

Specifically, transportation activities are now contained in a new paragraph.
