Dear Mr. Wascom:

We have reviewed the Louisiana commitment to implement increased controls for certain

licensees that possess certain radioactive materials in quantities of concern, received by our

office on October 14, 2005. This commitment noted that Louisiana will use a license condition

identical to that provided by the Organization of Agreement States, Inc. (OAS) on September 6,

2005. The OAS suggested license condition was 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 condition with Michael Henry on October 14, 2005.

We have determined that the proposed Louisiana license condition, if issued without significant

change, would meet the compatibility category ‘B’ designation in NRC Order EA-05-090.

We appreciate receiving the final license condition issued to effected Louisiana licensees.

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Louisiana regulations

and legal binding requirements, as indicated. Please let us know if you note any inaccuracies,

or have any comments on the information contained in the SRS Data Sheet. This letter,

including the SRS Data Sheet, will be posted on the STP website: 

http://www.hrsd.ornl.gov/nrc/rulemaking.htm. 

If you have any questions regarding the review, the compatibility categories, or any of the NRC

requirements used in the review, please contact Mr. Andrew Mauer of my staff at 301-415-3962

or e-mail: anm@nrc.gov.
