9.1 U.S. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS AOS maintains a written Quality Assurance (QA) Program in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 71, Subpart H [9.1]; and has received, from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC; NRC), QA Program Approval for Radioactive Material Packages No. 0086, Revision 9, dated August 7, 2015. (Refer to Appendix 9.3.1.) This approval satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 71.17(b), 71.101(f),

and 71.106 (Reference [9.1]) for a QA Program approved by the NRC, and is regularly reported to the NRC by written submittal on a 24-month period from the date of issuance, as required.

9.2 IAEA QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS The AOS QA program also satisfies the requirements of IAEA TS-R-1, Paragraph 306 (Reference [9.2]).

SUBJECT:

REVISED QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM APPROVAL FORM FOR RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL PACKAGES NO. 0086, REVISION 9

Dear Mr. Hedger:

On June 12, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a final rulemaking to amend 10 CFR Part 71 regulations. The effective date of this rulemaking was July 13, 2015.

Among the changes made was an update to the administrative procedures for the quality assurance program requirements described in 10 CFR Part 71, Subpart H. Specifically, 10 CFR 71.38 has been amended to remove the requirements for renewal of Quality Assurance Program Approvals, and 10 CFR 71.106 was added to establish requirements that will apply to changes to quality assurance programs.

Previously, all changes made to Quality Assurance Program Approvals had to be prior reviewed and approved by the NRC before they could be implemented. The new regulations in 10 CFR 71.106 allow changes to quality assurance programs that do not reduce commitments, such as those that involve administrative improvements and clarifications and editorial changes, to be made and implemented without prior NRC approval. Quality Assurance Program Approval holders are required to receive NRC approval before implementing changes to their quality assurance program that will reduce their commitments to the NRC.

Since there is no longer an expiration date for your Quality Assurance Program Approval, the NRC has revised Form 311 to reflect this change. The enclosure to this letter contains your Quality Assurance Program Approval on the revised Form 311. In addition, 10 CFR 71.106 requires that changes to your quality assurance program that do not reduce commitments must be submitted to the NRC every 24-months, with the reporting period starting on the date your revised Form 311 was approved. Please note that if you did not make any changes to your quality assurance program in the preceding 24-month period, you are required to report that no changes were made. If you wish to amend your Quality Assurance Program Approval and have determined it reduces commitments, or terminate this Approval, please request it in writing.
