Dear Mr Kaiser:

~Your Quality Assurance Program A3 proval No. 0593 is hereby terminated. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission pu)lished a final rule, effective June 27, 1997, revising the requirements of 10 CFR Part 34. " Licenses-for Industrial Radiography and Radiation Safety Requirements for Industrial Radiographic Operations." The revision, which contained numerous changes in the requirements, also modified the quality assurance (0A) requirements for transportation. As a result of these changes, a separate NRC OA program approval is no longer n_eeded.

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

10 CFR 71.101(g).. This provision was added to the regulations and requires that inspection and maintenance 3rograms limited to radiographic exposure devices, source changers, or paccages transporting these devices and meeting the provisions of 10 CFR Part 34.31(b) or equivalent Agreement State regulations, satisfy the general license requirements specified in 10 CFR Part 71.12(b) for Type B transport packages.

There is no need for you to respond to this letter. If you have further questions, please contact Stephen O'Connor of my staff (telephone: 301 415-8561, e-mail: SC0@NRC. GOV).

Sincerely.
