1000 East Main Street Plainfield, IN 46168 Gentlemen:

An agreement between the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the State of Illinois for the transfer of the. State of certain of the Commission's regulatory authority over byproduct, source and special nuclear materials became effective on June 1, 1987. A copy of the agreement and of Part 150 of the Comission's regulations, wh'ich describe the scope of the transferred authority, are available from this office upon request..

Certain.1icensees conduct licensed activities within the State of Illinois but maintain mailing addresses outside of this state. With the exception of federal and certain other licensees, such activities are subject to the regulatory authority of the Illinois Department.of Nuclear Safety. Your NRC License (No.13-15544-01) is such a license. All communications regarding this

. license should be addressed to:

Mr. Paul Eastvold, Manager.

Dear Licensee:

On June 1, 1987, Illinois was designated an Agreement State by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

Under terms of the Agreement Illinois has assumed jurisdiction over byproduct, source, and special nuclear materials in quantities not sufficient to form a critical mass. Consequently, the Department of Nuclear Safety will hereafter license and inspect use of the above materials in Illinois.

The Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety looks forward to working with you in this new program and will take the necessary step'; to accomplish a smooth transition. Accordingly, we are enclosing a list of questions and answers to provide additional information about the Illineis Agreement State program.

Generally, the Department's procedures for regulating radioactive materials will be similar to the NRC's. As you know, Illinois has had a licensing program for naturally occurring and accelerator produced radioactive materials since 1974. The program, which was designed after Nuclear Regulatory Commission procedures for licensing bypr.oduct, source, and special nuclear materials, will continue to be similar.

A copy of the recently revised regulations (32 Ill. Admin. Code, Chapter II) has been sent to you previously.

Please note that the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> telephone number for the Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety has been changed to 217/785-0600.

This number is to be used only to report emergencies concerning radioactive materials.

Again.'we look forward to working with you to ensure that radioactive materials are used safely.

If you have questions regarding the new Agreement State program or if the Department can be of further assistance, please contact the Division of Nuclear Materials at 217/785-9947.

Sincerely yours, ca D. G~4 1

U.S. NRC Materials License Number 13-15544-01

Dear Mr. Eastvold:

We nave received a letter frun Dr. William J. Adams, State Agreement Program Officer, U.S. NBC, Region III indicating that the above referenced license has been placed under the jurisdiction of the Illinois Departsnent of Nuclear Safety as part of your State Agreement Program.

This letter is to notify your that all activity authorized by license number 13-15544-01 has, and will continue to occur, solely within the State of Indiana. Due to the lccation of our Gibson Generating Station in Gibson County, Indiana it is necessary to use a Mount Carrnel, Illinois address. This was probably the reason the NRC transferred this license to Illinois.

We request that license number 13-15544-01 be returned to U.S. NRC Region III. We are informing Region III of this request by copy of this same letter.

Please contact Mr. Terry K. Spaulding at 317/838-1748 with any questions you may have. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

prely, S
