On October 1, 2009, a Notice of Violation was issued to the Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for two Severity Level III violations involving (1) failure to secure from unauthorized removal or access licensed materials that are stored in controlled or unrestricted areas, pursuant to 10 CFR, 20.1801, and (2) failure to confine possession and use of byproduct materials to the locations and purposes authorized on the license, pursuant to 10 CFR 30.34(c). Specifically, NOAA stored licensed materials in two different unrestricted areas and a controlled area during two different time periods, without securing the materials from unauthorized removal or access. Additionally, from 1993 until 2008, NOAA used licensed material in custom-made, unregistered devices in violation of its license condition requiring NOAA to use only such devices when the device has been registered with either the NRC or an NRC Agreement State.
