Dear Ms. Dedik:

! l 1 This refers to our letter dated March 19 asking for your assistance in l obtaining the necessary assurances from EURATOM for XSNM02904, Amendment No- 1

01. The licensee, Edlow International Company, advised us on April 2, by fax, 2 that their customer has requested that the material be delivered to FBFC in Pierrelatte, France instead of FBFC in Romans, France as shown on the export license. Since the original EURATOM assurances, dated December 5,1995, specified only FBFC in France, we gave verbal approval for the transfer to  ;

F8FC in Pierrelatte.

However, before we issue Amendment No.1, we would appreciate your assistance in obtaining assurances from EURATOM that FBFC in Pierrelatte is an authorized

' facility in EURATOM. For your convenience, we are attaching copies of the

referenced documents. If you need any additional information, please call me l at (301)415-2344.
