Dear Mr. Walker:

We have reviewed the Massachusetts license condition that was submitted to address the

National Source Tracking System - Serialization of Sources, received by our office on February

2, 2007. This license condition was 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

Ken Traegde on February 15, 2007.

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

license conditions meet the compatibility and health and safety categories established in the

Office of Federal and State Materials and Environmental Management Programs (FSME)

Procedure SA-200.

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Massachusetts

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, 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) or

Monica Orendi at 301-415-3938 (email: mlo1@nrc.gov).

Sincerely,
