Dear Mr. Schmidt:

We have reviewed the Wisconsin 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 September 13, 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 Cheryl Rogers on

September 13, 2005.

We have determined that the proposed Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin licensees.

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Wisconsin 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.
