SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 6, 1997, (62 FR 60112), NRC
announced the availability of draft NUREG-1556, Volume 3,
``Consolidated Guidance about Materials Licenses: Applications for
Sealed Source and Device Evaluation and Registration,'' dated September
1997, and requested comments on it. This draft NUREG report was the
third program-specific guidance developed to support an improved
materials licensing process. The NRC staff considered all of the
comments, including constructive suggestions to improve the document,
in the preparation of the final NUREG report.
The final version of NUREG-1556, Volume 3, 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 NUREG-1550, ``Standard Review Plan for Applications for Sealed
Source and Device Evaluations and Registrations,'' Regulatory Guide
10.10, ``Guide for the Preparation of Applications for Radiation Safety
Evaluation and Registration of Devices Containing Byproduct Material,''
Regulatory Guide 10.11, ``Guide for the Preparation of Applications for
Radiation Safety Evaluation and Registration of Sealed Sources
Containing Byproduct Material,'' and the Office of Nuclear Material
Safety and Safeguards Policy and Guidance Directives 22, ``What Source
and Device Designs Require an Evaluation,'' and 84-5, ``Source and
Device Evaluation Technical Assistance Request.'' This final report
should be used in preparing sealed source and device applications. NRC
staff will use this final report in reviewing these applications.
Electronic Access
NUREG-1556, Volume 3, is also available electronically by visiting
NRC's Home Page (http://www.nrc.gov) and choosing ``Nuclear
