Dear Mr. Moss:

-Your Quality Assurance Program A) proval No. 0139 is hereby terminated.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission pu)lished a final rule, effective June 27, 1997, revising the requirements of 10 CFR Part 34 " Licenses for Industrial Radiography and-Radiation Safety Requirements for Industrial Radiographic Operations." The revision, which contained numerous changes in the requirements, also modified the quality assurance (0A) requirements for transportation. As a result of these changes, a separate NRC OA program approval is no longer needed.

Specifically, transportation activities are now contained in a new paragraph, ID CFR 71.101(g).

This provision was added to the regulations and requires that inspection and maintenance )rograms limited to radiographic exposure devices. source-changers, or paccages transporting these devices and meeting-the provisions of 10 CFR Part 34.31(b), or equivalent Agreement State regulations, satisfy the general license requirements specified in 10 CFR Part 71.12(b) for Type B transport packages.

There is no need for you to respond to this letter.

If you have further questions, please contact Stephen O'Connor of-my staff (telephone: 301 415-8561, e-mail:

SCO@NRC. GOV).

Sincerely.
