Dear Mr. Miskin:

We have reviewed the New York City Bureau of Radiological Health proposed legally binding

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

radioactive materials in quantities of concern, received by our office on October 17, 2005. This

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 you on October 17, 2005.

We have determined that the proposed New York City Bureau of Radiological Health 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 New York City Bureau of

Radiological Health.

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other New York City Bureau

of Radiological Health 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.
