Dear Dr. Mackey:
This is regarding the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in Gaithersburg, Maryland, application for renewal of special nuclear materials license number 362 (SNM-362), for the NIST.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff review of your request has identified additional information that is still needed before final action on your application could be taken.
As such, the NRC staff requests that NIST provide the additional information discussed in the enclosures to this letter.
The NRC staff transmitted a draft of this request for additional information (RAI) to NIST and, on January 31, 2024, conducted partially closed public meeting to generally discuss, with NIST staff, the RAI prior to its issuance. The purpose of the meeting was to ensure there was mutual understanding of the RAIs, and to ensure NIST staff could adequately respond.
To meet our planned schedule, we request that the additional information specified in the enclosures to this letter be provided within 30 days from the date of this communication.
Pending your response, we anticipate completing our formal review by September 2024. Please note that this due date could change depending on the findings of our technical review, urgent assignments, or other factors. We will promptly communicate if any significant changes to this schedule are needed.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 2.390 of the U.S.
