ACSS-2 PD12 September ll,1987 MEMORANDUM FOR: Hugh L. Thompson, Jr., Director Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards FROM:

Richard E. Cunningham, Director Division of Industrial and Medical Nuclear Safety, NMSS

SUBJECT:

FINAL RULE - REGIONAL NUCLEAR MATERIALS LICENSING FOR THE UNITED STATES NAVY Enclosed is the final rule package to transfer licensing authority for the U.S.

Navy " master" materials license from Headquarters to Region II.

Previously, we decentralized the bulk of the materials licensing program through similar actions in 1983, 1984, 1985, and 1986. The 1986 rule packa e included

]

a statement which announced our intention to decentralize the Navy icense after s

their 180 or so licenses were consolidated.

That consolidation is now complete, and Headquarters staff is confident that Region II will encounter no special problems because of the consolidation. This action executes a policy decision approved and announced by the E00 in the previous rulemakings.

)

In 1986, we transferred the U.S. Air Force license to Region IV in a s'imilar fashion. At that time, we received permission to forward the rulemaking

{

directly to the ED0 for his signature without a regulatory analysis or an independent review by the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES). This permission was probably given because this rule was a minor procedural issue.

(It was really little more than a change of mailing address affecting only one licensee.) This transfer of the U.S. Navy license to Region II is procedurally identical to the 1986 transfer of the U.S. Air Force license to Region IV.

Therefore, we have followed the same course we followed in 1986. A memorandum i

has been prepared for your signature clearly explaining this fact to the EDO.

I request that you sign the memorandum to the EDO recommending his approval, the congressional letters, and the Delegation of Authority.

Original Signed By Glen L Sjoblom Richard E. Cunningham, Director Division of Industrial and Medical Nuclear Safety
