Dear Ms. Cardwell:

We have reviewed the Texas license condition that was submitted to address the National Source

Tracking System - Serialization of Sources, received by our office on January 9, 2007. These

license conditions were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent NRC rules in 10 CFR 20 and 32

and the requirements of the one amendment identified in the enclosed State’s Regulation Status

(SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the license condition with you on January 18,

2007.

As a result of our review, we have no comments. We have determined that the Texas license

condition meets the compatibility and health and safety categories established in the Office of

State and Tribal Programs (STP) Procedure SA-200.

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Texas 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 Data Sheet. This letter, including the

SRS Data Sheet, is posted on the FSME website: http://www.hrsd.ornl.gov/nrc/rulemaking.htm. 

If you have any questions regarding the review results, the compatibility and health and safety

categories, or any of the NRC regulations used in the review, please contact Kathleen Schneider

State Regulation Review Coordinator at 301-415-2320 (email: kxs@nrc.gov), Ernesto QuinonesPadovani at 301-415-0271 (email: eqp@nrc.gov), or Monica Orendi at 301-415-3938 (email:
