NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 40-7102]


Receipt of Petition for Director's Decision Under 10 CFR 
Sec. 2.206

    Notice is hereby given that by an undated letter received by the 
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) on October 11, 
1996, Mr. Sherwood Bauman requested the NRC to take action with regard 
to NRC licensee Shieldalloy.
    The Petition requests that Shieldalloy's license for its Newfield, 
New Jersey site be revoked and ``downgraded'' to a license permitting 
possession of low-level radioactive waste for the purpose of 
decommissioning only. As a basis for this request, the Petitioner 
asserts that Shieldalloy cannot meet NRC financial assurance 
requirements.
    The Petition is being treated pursuant to 10 C.F.R. Sec. 2.206 of 
the Commission's regulations. The Petition has been referred to the 
Director of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS). As provided 
by Section 2.206, action will be taken on this Petition within a 
reasonable time. A copy of the Petition is available for inspection at 
the Commission's Public Document Room at 2120 L Street, NW, Washington, 
DC 20555.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 14th day of 1996.

    For The Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Carl J. Paperiello,
Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
