Dear Governor Riley:

On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am writing to inform you

that the NRC has determined that the State of Alabama has a program to license byproduct

material, as defined in Sections 11e.(3) and (4) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended,

that is adequate to protect the public health and safety. This determination is based on your

certification provided in the letter dated March 19, 2007. The Commission considers your

certification to be effective on October 19, 2007.

In accordance with Section 651(e)(4)(C)(iii) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the

Agreement entered into between the NRC and the State of Alabama under Section 

274b. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, is now considered to include byproduct

material as defined in Sections 11e.(3) and (4). Therefore, as of the date of this letter, the NRC

hereby terminates the time-limited waiver of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 requirements

granted by the NRC to the State of Alabama on August 31, 2005.

I look forward to continuing our excellent working relationship with the State of Alabama. 

If you have any questions, please contact me. If your staff have any questions or wish

additional information, please have them contact Janet R. Schlueter, Director of NRC's Division

of Materials Safety and State Agreements, Office of Federal and State Materials and

Environmental Management Programs at (301) 415-3340.

Sincerely,

 /RA/

Dale E. Klein
