NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
10 CFR Chapter 1
Medical Use of Byproduct Material; Draft Policy Statement,
Reopening of Public Comment Period
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Draft policy statement; reopening of public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On August 13, 1998, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
published for public comment a proposed revision of its 1979 policy
statement on the medical use of byproduct material (63 FR 43580). The
comment period for the proposed revision of the policy statement
expired on November 13, 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 policy
statement. 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
workdays.

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