Dear Mr. Cahill:
i in a letter dated June 30,1998, Ronan Engineering Company (Ronan) was informed that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) position that was transmitted to Ronan in a
. June 3,1994, letter was in error. Ronan was advised that it must discontinue its program of i
advising its customers to combine exempt quantity sources. Rather, Ronan was further advised that it may distribute these devices to specific or general licensees. However, in order to do so, Ronan must have the device design evaluated and registered with Kentucky, an Agreement State, and if distributed to general licensees, Ronan must have its general distribution license j
amended. - NRC has allowed Ronan to continue to distribute devices requiring multiple exempt quantities of byproduct material for a period of 60 days from the date of the June 30,1998, letter.
. This period expires on August 29,~ 1998.
In a letter dated July 17,1998, you requested an extension of the August 29,1998, date. You stated that you have an urgent need to distribute these devices because a substantial portion of Ronan's business has been invested in this product. In addition, we are aware that you have i
submitted a request to the State of Kentucky to review this device for general license distribution.- Ms. Vicki Jeffs, with the State of Kentucky, has indicated that they have received
-your application for a device review and will likely complete the review within 60 days. For these reasons, NRC will extend the period allowed Ronan to continue to distribute devices requiring
. multiple exempt quantities of byproduct material for an additional period of 60 days from the date
. of this letter or upon authorization from the State of Kentucky to distribute your devices requiring multiple exempt quantities of byproduct material as generally licensed devices, whichever
. occurs first.'
