l During an NRC inspection completed on April 28,1998, a violation of NRC requirements was ,

l identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC '

Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:

10 CFR 150.20(a) provides, in part, that any person who holds a specific license from an Agreement State is granted an NRC general license to conduct tha same activity in l offshore waters, provided that the provisions of 10 CFR 150.20(b) have been met.

10 CFR 150.20(b)(1) requires, in part, that any person engaging in activities in offshore .

waters, shall, at least 3 days before engaging in each such activity, file four copies of j NRC Form 241, " Report of Proposed Activities in Non-Agreement States", with the Regional Administrator of the appropriate NRC regional office, l

Contrary to the above, on January 10-13,1998, ICI Tracerco, a licensee of Texas, used licensed materials in offshore federal waters, without filing Form 241 with the NRC.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement VI).

l Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, ICI Tracerco is hereby required to' submit a written r

statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control l Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region IV,611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 400, Arlington, Texas 76011, within 30 days of the date of the letter
