    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
        On April 7, 1997 (62 FR 16630), NRC announced the availability of 
    draft NUREG-1562, ``Standard Review Plan for Applications for Licenses 
    to Distribute Byproduct Material to Persons Exempt from the 
    Requirements for an NRC License,'' dated January 1997, and requested 
    comments on it. The final version of NUREG-1562 will be published as 
    NUREG-1556, Vol. 8, ``Consolidated Guidance about Materials Licenses: 
    Program-Specific Guidance about Exempt Distribution Licenses,'' dated 
    September 1998. In finalizing the NUREG report, the staff considered 
    all the comments, including constructive suggestions, to improve the 
    document.
        This report is intended for use by applicants, licensees, and NRC 
    staff, and will also be available to Agreement States. It combines, 
    updates, and supersedes the guidance found in Draft NUREG-1562, 
    ``Standard Review Plan for Applications for Licenses to Distribute 
    Byproduct Material to Persons Exempt from the Requirements for an NRC 
    License.'' When published, this final report should be used in 
    applications for exempt distribution. NRC staff will use this final 
    report in reviewing these applications.
    
    Electronic Access
    
        NUREG-1556, Volume 8, will be available electronically,
