(CAN USA or Licensee) is the holder of State of Louisiana Materials License LA–10258– 01, which authorizes possession and use of sealed sources for industrial radiography. Louisiana is an Agreement State under Section 274b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 150.20(a)(1), CAN USA is granted a general license by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) to conduct the same activities authorized by its Louisiana license in offshore Federal waters. CAN USA has performed licensed activities in offshore Federal waters under its PO 00000 Frm 00129 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 general NRC license at various times during calendar years 2001 to 2010. This Confirmatory Order is the result of an agreement reached during an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mediation session conducted on March 9, 2010. The Appendix to this Order contains Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information (SUNSI). When separated from the Appendix, this Order is decontrolled. II On June 12, 2008, the NRC conducted a routine inspection of CAN USA’s radiographic operations onboard a Chevron USA platform located in offshore Federal waters. The NRC’s Office of Investigations (OI) initiated an investigation on August 13, 2008. Based on the inspection and the evidence developed during the associated investigation, apparent violations of NRC requirements were identified. First, it appeared that a radiographer conducted radiographic operations without a second qualified individual present. Second, it appeared that the radiographer failed to supervise and maintain direct observation of a radiographer’s assistant during the assistant’s use of a radiographic exposure device, and that the assistant used the device while not under the personal supervision of the radiographer. Third, it appeared that both individuals failed to control and maintain constant surveillance of licensed material that was in a controlled or unrestricted area and not in storage. The NRC also identified an apparent violation of NRC security requirements that is described in the Appendix to this Order (Appendix). (The Appendix includes security-related information; therefore, it is not publicly available.) In addition, the NRC was concerned that willfulness may have been associated with three of those apparent violations. The NRC described the results of the inspection and investigation in a letter to CAN USA dated January 27, 2010. In response to the NRC’s January 27, 2010, letter, CAN USA requested ADR to resolve these issues. On March 9, 2010, the NRC and CAN USA met in an ADR session mediated by a professional mediator, arranged through Cornell University’s Institute on Conflict Resolution. Alternative dispute resolution is a process in which a neutral mediator with no decisionmaking authority assists the parties in reaching an agreement on resolving any differences regarding the dispute. This Confirmatory Order is issued pursuant E:\FR\FM\30APN1.SGM 30APN1
