March 6,1998 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington DC 20555 Re: License R-113, Docket 50-274 Sirs:
We are herein requesting an amendment to our facility license. Two changes are requested: 1. updating NRC recipients in the reporting requirements of paragraphs 3.D(1), 3.D(2),3.D(3) and 3.D(4); and 2. replacing " telegraph" with " facsimile" in paragraph 3.D(1).
Item i Details: Section 3.D(1-4) of the USGS facility license specifies reports that shall l be made to the Director of the Atomic Energy Commission Regional Office and/or the Director, Division of Reactor Licensing (DRL). Since the Atomic Energy Commission ceased existence in the early 1970's, this should be corrected to have reports sent to 4 the Document Control Desk, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555. 1 In 1997, the USGS non-power reactor facility was moved from regional compliance regulation to regulation from NRC headquarters. Therefore, all references to the regional compliance office should be removed. In addition, references to reports made !
to the Director, DRL should be changed to the Document Control Desk, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555.
Item 2 Details: Paragraph 3.D(1) allows prompt notifications to be made by telegraph.
We request that " telegraph" be replaced by " facsimile" The license sections that are affected by this request are attached.
Sincerely, m n
