Dear Mr. Peterson: 

The Office of Federal and State Materials and Environmental Management Programs has 

reviewed your letter dated September 19, 2006 in response to a letter we sent to you dated 

August 31, 2006. Your letter transmitted comments on South Carolina’s State Regulation Status 

(SRS) Summary Sheet. 

In your letter you cited several occasions in which your SRS sheet has differed greatly from the 

one we sent you on August 31, 2006. We have since looked into this matter and have 

determined that the SRS sheet attached to this letter is the correct version. In a discussion we 

had with you, we understand that you have responses from us contradicting the information 

listed on South Carolina’s SRS sheet. If you should have letters which you sent to us or 

received from us that contradict the attached SRS sheet please send them to us so we can 

review them and if necessary make changes to your SRS sheet. 

We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this has caused. 

If you should any questions regarding this letter or the attached South Carolina SRS sheet 

please contact me at 301-415-2320 (email: kxs@nrc.gov) or Monica Orendi at 301-415-3938
