NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
10 CFR Parts 20, 32 and 35
RIN 3150-AF74
Medical Use of Byproduct Material; Proposed Revision, Reopening
of Public Comment Period
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On August 13, 1998, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
published for public comment a proposed rule to revise its regulations
governing the medical use of byproduct material (63 FR 43516). The
comment period for the proposed rule expired on November 12, 1998. A
number of comments noted that the original 90-day comment period was
too short to review, thoroughly understand, and comment on the proposed
changes in the regulations that govern the use of byproduct material.
In response to those comments and to ensure that all of the parties
affected by the proposed changes have an opportunity to provide
comments, the Commission has decided to reopen the comment period.
DATES: The comment period has been reopened and will now expire on
December 16, 1998. Comments received after this date will be considered
if it is practical to do so, but the Commission is only able to ensure
consideration of comments received on or before this date.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be sent to: Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, Attention: Rulemakings and
Adjudications Staff.
Deliver comments to: One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike,
Rockville, Maryland 20852, between 7:30 am and 4:15 pm on Federal

Room, 2120 L Street, NW. (Lower Level), Washington, DC.
