Dear Mr. Flater:

We have reviewed the Iowa commitment to implement increased controls for certain licensees

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

September 9, 2005. This commitment noted that Iowa 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 Mr. Randy Dahlin on September 9, 2005.

We have determined that the proposed Iowa 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 Iowa licensees.

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

Sincerely,
