CHAIRMAN l
l The Honorable Mike Huckabee Governor of Arkansas Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 l
Dear Governor Huckabee:
In response to your July 1,1998, request to relinquish Arkansas' authority to evaluate and approve sealed source and device (SS&D) applications, I asked the Nuclear Regulatory l
Commission (NRC) staff to prepare a paper on the issue so that the Commission could act on your request. After reviewing your proposal and the staff's analysis, the Commission has l decided to reassume regulatory authority for SS&D evaluations and approvals within the State of Arkansas, effective October 1,1998. For your information, I have enclosed a copy of the Federal Reoister notice announcing this change. Arkansas will retain authority to regulate the manufacture and use of sealed sources and devices within the State in accordance with its Section 274b Agreement with the NRC.
Your staff may contact Richard L. Bangart, Director, Office of State Programs, at (301) 415-3340, if they have any questions regarding this matter.
Sincerely, Shirley Ann Jackson
Enclosure:
