Dear Dr. Glenn:

This letter confirms our telephone conversation concerning the need toextend leak testing on radioactive ccrmrodities while used overseas and anexemption to the requirement to perform nonitoring upon receipt of thesecau)di ties overseas. The leak test intervals will be every three yearsfor the M8A1 Chemical Agent Alarm (12-00722-13), the Chemical Agent Monitor(12-0072 24,4---t heC-i Moisture Density Gauge (21-01222-05), and the

AN/UDM-22.9-01022-14) We have not had any indication of leakage sinceprocurenen- o hese ccradities. These procedures do not apply toradioactive ccamTdities while used in the United States.

I am also enclosing a copy of the letter sent to the field to avoidunits being deployed without needed equipment. This guidance was broadlydistributed throughout the US Arry since there are many organizationsinvolved in assuring the troops are equipped upon arrival overseas.

Your cooperation and assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.If you have any further questions please contact me or Ms. Patricia A. Elkerat 202-274-9340/9475.

Sincerely,

ChiefSafety Office

MEMRANDUM FOR SEE DISTRIBUTION

SUBJECT: Contingency Shipments of Radioactive Materials

1. Radioactive canrrdity shipInents have been delayed for wipe testing atcertain Azrmy depots and other AnrTy locations. Do not delay these shinrents.The following information which was checked with both the Department of

Transportation and Nuclear Regulatory Carmission will assist in expeditingshipments.

a. To meet shipment schedules, depots should expedite testing in advanceof need, wipe test several packages at a time with a single wipe and anal!vzethat wipe in lieu of testing each package with individual.wipes. Original ornew packaged carrcdities do not remuire wipe testing as long as the packag---ghas not been damaged. Army installations receiving shipments frcn depots orcontractors can reship to any consignee provided the original packaging hasnot been damaged or altered in any nanner. This is in accordance with Title49, Ccde of Federal Regulation Part 173.7 (a).

b. LAW Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 173.443, Depart-rent of Transportation has authorized Army organizations to use a visualcheck as an alternate to wipe testing Army contingency radioactive materialshipnent/receipt packages. Based on Army's control and provided that suchpackages have been previously tested, a visual check that the package or ccar-modity is not cbvicusly damaged is sufficient for further ship-rent or use.Shipment of undamaged packages and camicdities should proceed while obviouslydamaged items are held for testing. Packages frcn depots, TMDE units andmanufacturers will have been previously tested.

c. Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations,_ Part 173.7 (b) states, "Shin-rents of radioactive materials, made by or under the direction or supervisionof the U.S. Departnent of Energy or the Department of Defense, and which areescorted by personnel specifically designated'by or under the authority ofthose agencies, for the purpose of national security, are not subject to theregulations in Parts 170-189 of this subchapter." -

d. In addition to the DoD exErution in para c above and the exetquantities published in Title 49, other exemptions which- can be used toassure prcnpt shipments for contingencies are DOT-E-9232, DOT-E-3498, orDOT-E-2136 (encls 1, 2, and 3).

2. Point of. contact is Ms. Patricia A. Elker, DSN 284-9340 for AMCSF.

To File

I am modifyinrg .paragraph 8 a. of DOT-E 3498.thls dateconcerning the applicability of the exemption.

to clarify ambiguities

In issuing the exemption, it was my intention to grant to the Department ofDefense (DOD) sufficient flexibility to move essential material in an expeditious

.manner without experiencing unnecessary delays that may be encountered if strictadherence to the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) were required. However,it was intended that the exemption would only apply to cases involving declarednational emergencies or In cases in which, due to unforeseen events, the nationalinterest would requireisuch .exp.edtious movement. To make thi., point clear, I ammodifying the exemption.-

It must be emphasized that DOT-E 34H does not apply t6 ouLini DOD logiitickJoperations or to scheduled maneuvers that are conducted routinely and which maybe characterized as pre'-planned events, In such cases, I find no basis forapplication of the exemption in the public of national interest- and, therefore, DODis expected to conform to the FIMR during routine operations unless specifiedotherwlse In an exemptl6ri other than DOT-E 3498.

10 File

I am, modifying .paragraph 8 a. of DOT-E 3498concerning the applicability of the exemption.

this date to clarify ambiguities

In issuing the exemption, it was my intention to grant to the Department ofDefense (DOD) sufficient fIex-bility to move essential material in an expeditiousmanner without experiencing unnecessary delays that may be encountered if strictadherence to the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) were required. However,it was intended, that the exemption would only apply to cases involving declarednational emergencies or in cases in which, Uu-e-to unforeseen events, the nationalinterest would require6-such expeditious movement. To make thip point clear, I ammodifying the exemption.

It must be emphasized that DOT-E 3498 does not apply t6 routine DOD Iogj'ticaloperations or to'scheduled maneuvers that are conducted routinely and which may.be characterized as pre-planned events, In such cases, I find no basis forapplication of the exemption in the public or national interest and, therefore, DODis expected to conforni.to the HMP. during routine operations unless specifiedotherwlse In an exemption' other than DOT-E 3498.
