Dear Mr. Owen:

We received Ohio’s email response dated December 21, 2006 to our All Agreement State letter

(FSME-06-110) dated December 12, 2006, regarding the implementation of the National

Source Tracking System (NSTS) requirement to assign serial numbers to each nationally

tracked source. According to FSME 06-110 any State that has licensees that are authorized to

manufacture sources subject to tracking in the NSTS will need to take appropriate action to

implement this requirement on or before February 6, 2007. From your response we understand

that Ohio does not have any licensees which meet these conditions and, therefore, Ohio does

not need to implement this requirement at this time. However, should Ohio in the future,

acquire a licensee which is authorized to manufacture sources subject to the tracking in the

NSTS, Ohio would need to take actions to implement these requirements at that time. 

Thank you for your quick and timely response to this matter. 

The State Regulation Status (SRS) Summary Sheet, summarizes our knowledge of other Ohio

regulations and legally binding requirements as indicated. Please let us know if you note any

inaccuracies, or have any comments on the information contained in the SRS summary sheet. 

This letter including your SRS summary sheet is posted on the Office of Federal and State

Materials and Environmental Management Programs (FSME) website:

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

If you have any questions regarding this letter or the attached SRS summary sheet please

contact Kathleen Schneider, State Regulation Review Coordinator at 301-415-2320 (email:

kxs@nrc.gov), Ernesto Quiñones at 301-415-0271 (email: eqp@nrc.gov), or Monica Orendi at
