SUBJECT:

APPLICATION FOR THE MODEL NO. GP-01 TRANSPORT PACKAGE-ACCEPTED FOR REVIEW (EPID L-2020-LLA-0107)

Dear Mr. Boyle:

By letter dated May 11, 2020 [Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML20143A100], and as supplemented on August 5, 2020 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML20231A505), the U.S. Department of Transportation requested that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff perform a review of the Japanese Approval Certificate Number J/2009/AF-96, Revision 1, Model No. GP-01 transport package, and make a recommendation concerning the revalidation of the package for import and export use. The NRC staff performed an acceptance review of your application to determine whether the application contains sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete a detailed technical review per the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)

Specific Safety Requirements No. 6 (SSR-6), Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material, 2012 Edition.

The NRC staff performed an acceptance review of your application to determine whether the application contains sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete a detailed technical review per the IAEA SSR-6, 2012 Edition. With the information supplied on August 5, 2020, the application appears to contain the information needed for our technical review.

We have established a schedule for the review and estimated that the staff may need approximately 450 hours0.00521 days <br />0.125 hours <br />7.440476e-4 weeks <br />1.71225e-4 months <br /> to complete its review. The schedule allows for the staff to issue the first request for additional information (RAI) in late September 2020 and, if a second RAI is not needed, a certificate of compliance by December 2020, based on you responding to the first RAI in early November 2020. In general, no additional changes to the application should be submitted except for changes resulting from your response to a RAI.

R. Boyle If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at (301) 415-6999 or Norma.GarciaSantos@nrc.gov.
