NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Consolidated Guidance About Materials Licenses: Program-Specific
Guidance About Medial Use of Byproduct Material, Reopening of Public
Comment Period
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Reopening of public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On August 25, 1998, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
announced the availability of and requested comment on draft NUREG-
1556, Volume 9, ``Consolidated Guidance about Materials Licenses:
Program-Specific Guidance about the Medical Use of Byproduct
Material,'' dated July 1998, (63 FR 45270). This draft guide was
developed in parallel with the proposed revision of 10 CFR Part 35,
``Medical Use of Byproduct Material,'' (63 FR 43516). The comment
period for the proposed rule and NUREG 1556, Volume 9, expired on
November 12, 1998. A number of comments on the rule noted that the
original 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 for the rule and NUREG 1556, Volume 9.
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: Submit written comments to: Chief, Rules and Directives
Branch, Division of Administrative Services, Office of Administration,
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001. Hand
deliver comments to 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland, between
7:15 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on Federal workdays. Comments may also be

Those considering public comment may request a free single copy of
draft NUREG-1556, Volume 9, by writing to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
