EA–21–146 

Confirmatory Order Modifying License 

(Effective Upon Issuance) 

I 

Somat Engineering, Inc. (Somat or the 

licensee) is the holder of Nuclear 

Materials License No. 21–24685–01 

renewed on September 24, 2021, by the 

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC or Commission) pursuant to Part 

30 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR). The license 

authorizes the operation of portable 

moisture/density gauges containing 

licensed radioactive materials for 

measuring physical properties of 

materials at temporary job sites in NRC 

jurisdiction in accordance with 

conditions specified in the license. The 

licensee’s facilities are located in Grand 

Rapids and Taylor, Michigan. 

This Confirmatory Order (CO) is the 

result of an agreement reached during 

an Alternative Dispute Resolution 

(ADR) mediation session conducted on 

January 11, 2022, in Lisle, Illinois. 

II 

On November 2, 2021, the NRC issued 

Inspection Report 03029146/ 

2021001(DNMS) to Somat, which 

documented the identification of three 

apparent violations that were being 

considered for escalated enforcement 

action in accordance with the NRC 

Enforcement Policy. The apparent 

violations concerned: (1) The loss of a 

portable moisture density gauge due to 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 47 / Thursday, March 10, 2022 / Notices 13775 

the failure to control and maintain 

constant surveillance of the gauge after 

failing to secure it as required by 10 CFR 

20.1802 and 10 CFR 30.34(i); (2) the 

failure to secure this gauge from shifting 

during transportation as required by 10 

CFR 71.5(a) and 49 CFR 173.448(a); and 

(3) the failure to secure a second 

portable moisture density gauge from 

unauthorized removal or access as 

required by 10 CFR 20.1801 and 10 CFR 

30.34(i). 

The NRC notified Somat by letter, 

dated November 2, 2021, (Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System (ADAMS) Accession No. 

ML21302A205) of the results of the 

inspection with an opportunity to: (1) 

Provide a response in writing, (2) attend 

a predecisional enforcement conference, 

or (3) to participate in an ADR 

mediation session in an effort to resolve 

this matter. 

In response to the NRC’s offer, Somat 

requested the use of the NRC’s ADR 

process to resolve differences it had 

with the NRC. On January 11, 2022, the 

NRC and Somat met in an ADR session 

mediated by a professional mediator, 

arranged through Cornell University’s 

Institute on Conflict Resolution. The 

ADR process is one in which a neutral 

mediator, with no decision-making 

authority, assists the parties in reaching 

an agreement on resolving any 

differences regarding the dispute. This 

Confirmatory Order is issued pursuant 

to the agreement reached during the 

ADR process. 

III 

During the ADR session, Somat and 

the NRC reached a preliminary 

settlement agreement. 

The NRC recognizes that immediately 

following each incident, Somat took 

corrective actions. As a corrective action 

with respect to the lost gauge, Somat 

made a concerted effort to recover the 

gauge, suspended the technician 

responsible for the loss without pay and 

required him to retake all company 

training related to gauge use, and 

reiterated policies and expectations for 

gauge use to all technicians. As a 

corrective action with respect to the 

unsecured gauge, Somat’s management 

sent a memo to all technicians 

reiterating requirements and 

expectations for maintaining control of 

vehicles and their contents. 

Therefore, the parties agree to the 

following terms and conditions: 

1. Somat commits to create and 

implement an electronic form that will 

be used by Somat field personnel to 

verify the presence and security of 

licensed gauges any time prior to 

leaving the storage location of the 

gauges or a job site where gauges are 

used. The form will be completed 

electronically and submitted with a 

photo of the secured gauge in the 

vehicle (except for rare occurrences, 

e.g., inoperable phone camera). An 

independent Somat representative will 

review the forms on a random basis, and 

there will be no fewer than 3 reviews 

per week when gauges are in use. This 

commitment will be implemented no 

later than May 1, 2022. Somat will 

evaluate the effectiveness of this 

commitment and develop a report no 

later than one year following the date of 

this Confirmatory Order, to be made 

available to NRC inspectors for review. 

2. Somat commits to engage with the 

Michigan Department of Transportation 

(MDOT) to propose a lessons-learned 

summary of these incidents for 

inclusion in MDOT’s initial and 

refresher training of moisture density 

gauge technicians. This summary need 

not identify Somat’s company 

information or that of its personnel. 

This contact will occur no later than 

December 31, 2022. 

3. Somat commits to engage with 

InstroTek Incorporated to propose a 

lessons-learned summary of these 

incidents for inclusion into InstroTek’s 

periodic ‘‘lunch and learn’’ seminars. 

This summary need not identify Somat’s 

company information or that of its 

personnel. This contact will occur no 

later than December 31, 2022. 

4. Somat commits to include a 

discussion of these incidents, with 

lessons learned, at its Annual PreSeason Construction Field Staff 

Meeting(s) occurring no later than June 

30, 2022. 

5. Somat commits to include a 

discussion of these incidents, with 

lessons learned, at one of its bi-weekly 

management meetings occurring no later 

than May 1, 2022. 

6. Somat commits to include a 

discussion of these incidents, with 

lessons learned, at its next Health and 

Safety Committee Meeting no later than 

May 1, 2022. The minutes from the 

Health and Safety Committee Meeting 

will include the discussion of the 

incident and will be provided to all 

company personnel. These minutes will 

be provided no later than May 1, 2022. 

7. Somat commits to enhance its job 

site audit program—specific to the use 

of gauges—to perform audits of job sites 

more frequently. Specifically, one audit 

will occur each week at a job site chosen 

at random when gauges are in use. 

These enhanced audits will begin no 

later than May 1, 2022. 

8. Somat commits to an independent 

review, to be performed by a Somat 

employee not engaged in the day-to-day 

operations of moisture density gauge 

use, of the two 2022 bi-annual program 

audits. This review will be completed 

no later than December 31, 2022. 

9. Somat commits to incorporate 

tracking devices to enhance its ability to 

track the location of moisture density 

gauges. In addition to three existing 

gauges with internal tracking capability, 

one additional gauge with internal 

tracking capability will be procured and 

fielded no later than December 31, 2022. 

Additionally, for a trial period, 50 

percent of Somat’s remaining gauges or 

their transport cases will be fitted and 

fielded with aftermarket tracking 

devices no later than August 1, 2022. 

The trial period will end no later than 

November 30, 2022. At that time, Somat 

will prepare a report available for NRC 

inspector review with the results of the 

trial period and recommendations for 

future use of aftermarket tracking 

devices. This report will be completed 

no later than one year following the date 

of this Confirmatory Order. 

Based on the completed actions and 

commitments described above and the 

license modifications described in 

Section V below, the NRC agrees not to 

pursue any further enforcement action 

in connection with the apparent 

violations described in NRC’s letter 

dated November 2, 2021, and relating to 

Inspection Report 03029146/ 

2021001(DNMS). In further 

consideration of the commitments 

delineated above, the NRC agrees to 

refrain from issuing a notice of violation 

or proposing a civil penalty. However, 

the NRC will consider this Confirmatory 

Order as an escalated enforcement 

action. 

This agreement is binding upon 

successors or assignees of Somat. The 

terms and conditions set forth herein 

shall accordingly continue to apply to 

Somat and survive any transfer of 

ownership or license. 

On January 11, 2022, Somat 

consented to issuing this Confirmatory 

Order with the commitments as 

described in Section V below. Somat 

further agreed that this Confirmatory 

Order is to be effective upon issuance, 

the agreement memorialized in this 

Confirmatory Order settles the matter 

between the parties, and that it has 

waived its right to a hearing. 

IV 

I find that Somat’s actions completed 

as described in Section III above, 

combined with the commitments as set 

forth above and in Section V are 

acceptable and necessary, and conclude 

that with these commitments the public 

health and safety are reasonably 

assured. In view of the foregoing, I have 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
13776 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 47 / Thursday, March 10, 2022 / Notices 

determined that public health and safety 

require that Somat’s commitments be 

confirmed by this Confirmatory Order. 

Based on the above and Somat’s 

consent, this Confirmatory Order is 

effective upon issuance. 

By no later than thirty (30) days after 

the completion of the commitments 

specified in Section V, Somat is 

required to notify the NRC in writing 

and summarize its actions. 

V 

Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 81, 

161b, 161i, 161o, 182, and 186 of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 

and the Commission’s regulations in 10 

CFR 2.202 and 10 CFR parts 20, 30, and

vehicle (except for rare occurrences, 

e.g., inoperable phone camera). An 

independent Somat representative will 

review the forms on a random basis, and 

there will be no fewer than 3 reviews 

per week when gauges are in use. Somat 

will evaluate the effectiveness of this 

commitment and develop a report no 

later than one year following the date of 

this Confirmatory Order, to be made 

available to NRC inspectors for review. 

2. No later than December 31, 2022,

VI 

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.202 and 

10 CFR 2.309, any person adversely 

affected by this Confirmatory Order, 

other than Somat, may request a hearing 

within thirty (30) calendar days of the 

date of issuance of this Confirmatory 

Order. Where good cause is shown, 

consideration will be given to extending 

the time to request a hearing. A request 

for extension of time must be made in 

writing to the Director, Office of 

Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555, 

and include a statement of good cause 

for the extension. 

All documents filed in NRC 

adjudicatory proceedings, including a 

request for hearing and petition for 

leave to intervene, any motion of other 

document filed in the proceeding prior 

to the submission of a request for 

hearing or petition to intervene, and 

documents filed by an interested State, 

local governmental body, Federallyrecognized Indian Tribe, or designated 

agency thereof that requests to 

participate under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must 

be filed in accordance with 10 CFR 

2.302. The E-Filing process requires 

participants to submit and serve all 

adjudicatory documents over the 

internet, or in some cases, to mail copies 

on electronic storage media, unless an 

exemption permitting an alternative 

filing method, as discussed below, is 

granted. Detailed guidance on electronic 

submissions is located in the Guidance 

for Electronic Submissions to the NRC 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML13031A056) 

and on the NRC website at https://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. 

To comply with the procedural 

requirements of E-Filing, at least 10 

days prior to the filing deadline, the 

participant should contact the Office of 

the Secretary by email at 

hearing.docket@nrc.gov, or by telephone 

at 301–415–1677, to (1) request a digital 

identification (ID) certificate, which 

allows the participant (or its counsel or 

representative) to digitally sign 

submissions and access the E-Filing 

system for any proceeding in which it 

is participating; and (2) advise the 

Secretary that the participant will be 

submitting a petition or other 

adjudicatory document (even in 

instances in which the participant, or its 

counsel or representative, already holds 

an NRC-issued digital ID certificate). 

Based upon this information, the 

Secretary will establish an electronic 

docket for the proceeding if the 

Secretary has not already established an 

electronic docket. 

Information about applying for a 

digital ID certificate is available on the 

NRC’s public website at https://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/ 

getting-started.html. After a digital ID 

certificate is obtained and a docket 

created, the participant must submit 

adjudicatory documents in Portable 

Document Format (PDF). Guidance on 

submissions is available on the NRC’s 

public website at https://www.nrc.gov/ 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 47 / Thursday, March 10, 2022 / Notices 13777 

site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A 

filing is considered complete at the time 

the document is submitted through the 

NRC’s E-Filing system. To be timely, an 

electronic filing must be submitted to 

the E-Filing system no later than 11:59 

p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. 

Upon receipt of a transmission, the EFiling system time-stamps the document 

and sends the submitter an email 

confirming receipt of the document. The 

E-Filing system also distributes an email 

that provides access to the document to 

the NRC’s Office of the General Counsel 

and any others who have advised the 

Office of the Secretary that they wish to 

participate in the proceeding, so that the 

filer need not serve the document on 

those participants separately. Therefore, 

applicants and other participants (or 

their counsel or representative) must 

apply for and receive a digital ID 

certificate before adjudicatory 

documents are filed to obtain access to 

the documents via the E-Filing system. 

A person filing electronically using 

the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system 

may seek assistance by contacting the 

NRC’s Electronic Filing Help Desk 

through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located 

on the NRC’s public website at https:// 

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by email to 

MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 1–866–672–7640. The NRC 

Electronic Filing Help Desk is available 

between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., Eastern 

Time, Monday through Friday, 

excluding government holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must file an 

exemption request, in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper 

filing stating why there is good cause for 

not filing electronically and requesting 

authorization to continue to submit 

documents in paper format. Such filings 

must be submitted in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(b)–(d). Participants filing 

adjudicatory documents in this manner 

are responsible for serving their 

documents on all other participants. 

Participants granted an exemption 

under 10 CFR 2.302(g)(2) must still meet 

the electronic formatting requirement in 

10 CFR 2.302(g)(1), unless the 

participant also seeks and is granted an 

exemption from 10 CFR 2.302(g)(1). 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in the NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket, which is 

publicly available at https://

adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded 

pursuant to an order of the presiding 

officer. Participants who do not have an 

NRC-issued digital ID certificate as 

described above may click ‘‘cancel’’ 

when the link requests certificates and 

they will be automatically directed to 

the NRC’s electronic hearing dockets 

where they will be able to access any 

publicly available documents in a 

particular hearing docket. Participants 

are requested not to include personal 

privacy information such as social 

security numbers, home addresses, or 

personal phone numbers in their filings 

unless an NRC regulation or other law 

requires submission of such 

information. With respect to 

copyrighted works, except for limited 

excerpts that serve the purpose of the 

adjudicatory filings and would 

constitute a Fair Use application, 

participants should not include 

copyrighted materials in their 

submission. 

The Commission will issue a notice or 

order granting or denying a hearing 

request or intervention petition, 

designating the issues for any hearing 

that will be held and designating the 

Presiding Officer. A notice granting a 

hearing will be published in the Federal 

Register and served on the parties to the 

hearing. 

If a person other than Somat requests 

a hearing, that person shall set forth 

with particularity the manner in which 

his interest is adversely affected by this 

Confirmatory Order and shall address 

the criteria set forth in 10 CFR 2.309(d) 

and (f). 

If a hearing is requested by a person 

whose interest is adversely affected, the 

Commission will issue an order 

designating the time and place of any 

hearings. If a hearing is held, the issue 

to be considered at such hearing shall be 

whether this Confirmatory Order should 

be sustained. 

In the absence of any request for 

hearing, or written approval of an 

extension of time in which to request a 

hearing, the provisions specified in 

Section V above shall be final thirty (30) 

days from the date of this Confirmatory 

Order without further order or 

proceedings. If an extension of time for 

requesting a hearing has been approved, 

the provisions specified in Section V 

shall be final when the extension 

expires if a hearing request has not been 

received.
