\9iNg REGC, UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 November 30, 2007 CHAIRMAN The Honorable Phil Bredesen Governor of Tennessee Nashville, Tennessee 372143
Dear Governor Bredesen:
On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am writing to inform you that the NRC has determined that the State of Tennessee has a program to license byproduct material, as defined in Sections 11 e.(3) and (4) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, that is adequate to protect the public health and safety. This determination is based on your certification provided in the letter dated March 26, 2007. The Commission considers your certification to be effective on October 19, 2007.
Inaccordance with Section 651(e)(4)(C)(iii) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the Agreement entered into between the NRC and the State of Tennessee under Section 274b. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, is now considered to include byproduct material as defined in Sections 11 e.(3) and (4). Therefore, as of the date of this letter, the NRC hereby terminates the time-limited waiver of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 requirements granted by the NRC to the State of Tennessee on August 31, 2005.
I look forward to continuing our excellent working relationship with the State of Tennessee. Ifyou have any questions, please contact me. Ifyour staff have any questions or wish additional information, please have them contact Janet R. Schlueter, Director of NRC's Division of Materials Safety and State Agreements, Office of Federal and State Materials and Environmental Management Programs at (301) 415-3340.
Sincerely, Dale E. Klein
