OFFICIAL USE ONLYSECURITY-RELATED INFORMATION UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 November 17, 2022 Pat Jenny Security Manager Global Laser Enrichment, LLC P.O. Box 780 3901 Castle Hayne Road Wilmington, NC 28402

SUBJECT:

APPROVAL OF GLOBAL LASER ENRICHMENT COMPLIANCE PLAN FOR TITLE 32 OF THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS PART 117 (ENTERPRISE PROJECT IDENTIFIER L-2021-SPR-0002)

Dear Pat Jenny:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has reviewed your letter dated April 8, 2022 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System [ADAMS] Accession No. ML22102A018) and latest revision to your Compliance Plan submitted June 27, 2022 (ML22187A088). The Compliance Plan describes Global Laser Enrichments, LLC (GLE) plans for coming into compliance with Title 32 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 117, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM). GLEs Compliance Plan was submitted in response to NRC correspondence dated March 10, 2022 (ML22054A220).

Subsequently, on August 10, 2022, the NRC issued a request for additional information (ML22215A229). GLE responded to the request on August 26, 2022 (ML22256A010). After review of the additional information, the NRC staff has completed a security evaluation report which documents the review of the submittal.

The NRC staff has determined that the methods and procedures outlined in the GLE Compliance Plan for the proposed updates will bring the Standards Practice Procedure Plan into compliance with 32 CFR Part 117 and will address the applicable portions consistent with the NRCs direction in the letter dated March 10, 2022, (ML22054A220). Therefore, NRC staff finds the final version of the Compliance Plan to be acceptable.

Of the nine waivers GLE requested, seven are approved, one is partially approved/partially disapproved, and one is disapproved (please see the enclosure). Should GLE continue to need a waiver past its expiration date, GLE should request a new waiver from the NRC 60 days prior to its November 30, 2025, expiration.

The enclosure transmitted herewith contains security-related information.

When separated from the enclosure, this document is decontrolled.

OFFICIAL USE ONLYSECURITY-RELATED INFORMATION

OFFICIAL USE ONLYSECURITY-RELATED INFORMATION P. Jenny 2 The NRC previously granted GLE enforcement discretion via letter dated March 10, 2022 (ML22054A220) for 180 days, and an additional 85 days via letter dated August 10, 2022 (ML22215A229). The NRC staff understands that GLE needs additional time following issuance of this letter for implementation of its Compliance Plan. Because GLE is taking reasonable and appropriate steps to come into compliance with the 32 CFR 117 requirements, the NRC staff will continue to exercise enforcement discretion until January 29, 2023.
