Dear Mr. Fletcher:

We received Maryland’s email response dated January 25, 2007 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 Maryland does not have any licensees which meet these conditions and, therefore,

Maryland does not need to implement this requirement at this time. However, should Maryland

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

in the NSTS, Maryland 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

Maryland 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:

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