SUBJECT:

Withdrawal of Request for Temporary Extension of Certificates of Compliance 9159 and 9176 Chem-Nuclear Systems (Chem-Nuclear) respectfully requests to withdraw from Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) consideration our request to grant a temporary extension to the expiration date for the subject Type A package Certificates of Compliance. The decision to withdraw our request is based on review of the NRC's response to a similar request from Nuclear Energy I:estitute, which pertained to all previously NRC-certified Type A LSA packagings. Chem-Nuclear understands and concurs that a request I,

for exemption from 10 CFR 71.51 under the provisions of 10 CG 71.8 is the appropriate mechanism for requesting the use of Type A LSA packaging for shipment of LSA materials with unshielded dose rates in excess of I rem /h @ 3 m. Furthennore it is understood that, as delineated in Mr. Paperiello's response, requests for such exemption should be accompanied by supporting information which documents 1

individual efforts to comply with the April 1st date, and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
