SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On August 13, 2007 (72 FR 45147), the NRC published in the Federal Register a direct final rule amending its regulations in 10 CFR Parts 32 and 35 to correct or clarify the rule language in several sections in the regulations that govern specific domestic licenses to manufacture or transfer certain items containing byproduct material and medical use of byproduct material. In the direct final rule, NRC stated that if no significant adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become final on October 29, 2007. The NRC did not receive any comments that warranted withdrawal of the direct final rule. Therefore, this rule will become effective as scheduled.
