SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 23, 1997 (62 FR 67100), NRC
announced the availability of draft NUREG-1556, Volume 4,
``Consolidated Guidance about Materials Licenses: Program-Specific
Guidance about Fixed Gauges Licenses,'' dated October 1997, and
requested comments on it. This draft NUREG report was the fourth
program-specific guidance developed to support an improved materials
licensing process. The NRC staff considered all the comments, including
constructive suggestions to improve the document, in the preparation of
the final NUREG report.
The final version of NUREG-1556, Volume 4, is now available for use
by applicants, licensees, NRC license reviewers, and other NRC staff.
It supersedes the guidance for applicants and licensees previously
found in Draft Regulatory Guide and Value/Impact Statement, FC 404-4,
``Guide for the Preparation of Applications for Licenses for the Use of
Sealed Sources and Nonportable Gauging Devices,'' dated January 1985,
in Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) Policy and
Guidance Directive (P&GD), FC 85-4, ``Standard Review Plan for
Applications for Use of Sealed Sources and Nonportable Gauging
Devices,'' dated February 6, 1985, and in NMSS P&GD, FC 85-8, Revision
1, ``Licensing of Fixed Gauges and Similar Devices,'' dated June 29,
1988. In addition, the draft report also contained information found in
pertinent Technical Assistance Requests and Information Notices. NRC
staff will use this final report in reviewing these applications.
NUREG-1556, Volume 4, will also be available electronically
approximately 1 month after publication of this notice by visiting
NRC's Home Page (http://www.nrc.gov) and choosing ``Nuclear
Materials,'' and then ``NUREG-1556, Volume 4.''
