to Distribute Byproduct Material to Persons Exempt from the
Requirements for an NRC License,'' dated January 1997, and requested

NUREG-1556, Vol. 8, ``Consolidated Guidance about Materials Licenses:

all the comments, including constructive suggestions, to improve the

This report is intended for use by applicants, licensees, and NRC

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.
