Dear Ms. Podolak:
On September 24, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 9187, Revision No. 11 by deleting Conditions 6. (c) and 6.

It was discovered that we did not extend the CoC expiration date to additional five years. As a result, enclosed please find a revised CoC extending the expiration date from March 31, 2019 to March 31, 2024. Further, at your request, we have also added a Condition to CoC to allow the use of Revision No. 10 until March 31, 2019. The NRC staffs revised safety evaluation report (SER) justifying the extension of the CoC expiration date is also enclosed. This was an oversight on our part, and does not affect the NRC staffs conclusions of the SER.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT DOCKET NO. 71-9187 MODEL NO. 865 CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE NO. 9187 REVISION NO. 12
SUMMARY
By application dated July 24, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18212A225), QSA Global, Inc. (QSA), requested renewal of Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 9187 for the Model 865 Type B(U) container. The applicant requested changes to delete Conditions 6(c) and 6(d) from the CoC pursuant to the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 71.95 to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). On September 24, 2018, the NRC issued a CoC No. 9187, Revision No. 11 by deleting Conditions 6. (c) and 6. (d) to allow the future manufacturing of new Model 865 package and/or future weld repairs on the existing Model 865 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18269A063). However, we did not extend the CoC expiration date to additional five years. As a result, enclosed please find an updated CoC with Revision No. 12 that extended the expiration date from March 31, 2019 to March 31, 2024. Further, at the applicants request, we have also added a Condition to CoC to allow the use of Revision No. 10 until March 31, 2019.
EVALUATION The applicant requested for the renewal of the CoC in addition to deleting Conditions 6. (c) and
- 6. (d), however, NRC overlooked on extending the expiration date. The updated CoC with a new expiration date has no effect on our previous safety evaluation issued on September 24, 2018. The extension of the CoC expiration date does not affect the ability of the package to meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71. Therefore, the NRC staff found the expiration date change and allowing the use of CoC Revision No. 10 until March 31, 2019, to be acceptable, and issued the updated CoC.
CONDITIONS The conditions specified in the Certificate of Compliance No. 9187 has been revised as indicated below:
Existing Condition No. 8, Expiration date: March 31, 2019 was made as Condition No. 9, and was revised as Expiration date: March 31, 2024.
Condition No. 8 was added as Revision No. 10 of this certificate may be used until March 31, 2019.
CONCLUSION Based on the statements and representations in the application, the staff finds that the package continues to meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71.
Issued with Certificate of Compliance No. 9187, Revision No. 12, on 10/9/18 OFFICIAL USE ONLY - SECURITY RELATED INFORMATION
