Shepherd; Order Conditioning Involvement in NRC-Licensed Activities I Joseph S. Shepherd is the President and Owner of Foss Therapy Services, PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Incorporated (FTS) in North Hollywood, California. FTS does not possess a license issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission pursuant to 10 CFR Part 30. However, FTS is the holder of a State of California materials license, which authorizes the use of radioactive material for the maintenance, repair, and installation of self-shielded irradiators. The holder of a State license may perform work authorized by the license in other state or federal jurisdictions provided the State licensee files for reciprocity with the appropriate regulatory authority. On September 8, 2008, the NRC issued Mr. Shepherd an Order, ‘‘Order Prohibiting Involvement in 10 CFR Part 71 Activities and Conditioning Other NRC Licensed Activities’’ (IA–08–014). The NRC issued the Order to Mr. Shepherd after he committed multiple violations of 10 CFR 110.7b, ‘‘Deliberate Misconduct.’’ These violations arose out of Mr. Shepherd’s employment by Source Production and Equipment Company, Inc. (SPEC), of St. Rose, Louisiana. SPEC, an NRC licensee, hired Mr. Shepherd to perform certain maintenance inspections required by the NRC Certificate of Compliance for Model No. 5979 shipping casks prior to shipping NRC-licensed radioactive material to Mexico. The NRC determined through inspection and an investigation that, on three separate occasions, Mr. Shepherd deliberately provided materially inaccurate information to SPEC concerning the inspection of Model No. 5979 packages. Mr. Shepherd provided the inaccurate information in various documents, such as checklists and bills of lading. By deliberately providing materially inaccurate information, Mr. Shepherd caused SPEC to violate 10 CFR 71.3, ‘‘Requirement for License’’ and 10 CFR 71.17m ‘‘General License; NRCapproved package.’’ For that reason, Mr. Shepherd’s actions violated 10 CFR 110.7b, ‘‘Deliberate Misconduct.’’ The September 8, 2008, NRC Order, in part, prohibited Mr. Shepherd indefinitely from packaging any Type B shipments and from preparing any paperwork for a Type B shipment in any area of NRC jurisdiction. The Order required Mr. Shepherd to notify the NRC in writing at least 5 business days before conducting licensed activities in NRC jurisdiction, a condition designed to facilitate NRC inspection of Mr. Shepherd’s activities. The Order also required that, prior to conducting licensed activities in NRC jurisdiction, Mr. Shepherd notify the customer, that the NRC had issued the Order to him and make the Order available to the customer. These notifications were E:\FR\FM\06JAN1.SGM 06JAN1
