Dear Ms. Salame-Alfie:

We have reviewed the New York New York State Health Department proposed legally binding

license conditions to implement increased controls for certain licensees that possess certain

radioactive materials in quantities of concern, received by our office on November 7, 2005. 

This license conditions were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent NRC requirements that

were transmitted from this office on September 2, 2005. We discussed our review of the

license conditions with Mr. Robert Dansereau on November 7, 2005.

We have determined that the proposed New York State Health Department license conditions,

if issued without significant change, would meet the compatibility category ‘B’ designation in

NRC Order EA-05-090.

We appreciate receiving the final license conditions issued to effected New York State Health

Department licensees.
