SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice proposes to make several 

amendments to 5 CFR 1206.7. The title 

of § 1206.7 is re-named to more fully 

advise the reader of matters addressed 

therein. In section (a)(1) of the proposed 

regulation a new section is added to 

make clear that the Board may, instead 

of maintaining a transcript or electronic 

recording, maintain a set of minutes of 

a meeting closed pursuant to section 

(10) of 5 U.S.C. 552b(c). This revised 

section also sets forth the information 

that must be included in a set of 

minutes. Section (a)(2) of the proposed 

amendment states the Board’s 

responsibility to promptly make 

available to the public copies of 

transcripts, recordings, or minutes of 

closed meetings, except where the 

Board determines that such information 

may be withheld pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

552b(c). Section (a)(3) of the proposed 

regulation addresses the Board’s 

responsibility to retain copies of 

transcripts, recordings or minutes of 

closed meetings. Section (b) of 5 CFR 

1206.7 is unchanged by the proposed 

amendment. 

List of Subjects in 5 CFR Part 1206

procedure, Board meetings. 

Accordingly, the Board proposes to 

amend 5 CFR part 1206 as follows: 

PART 1206—[AMENDED]

(a) Closed meetings. (1) For every 

meeting, or portion thereof, closed 

pursuant to this part the presiding 

officer shall prepare a statement setting 

forth the time and place of the meeting 

and the persons present, which 

statement shall be retained by the 

Board. For each such meeting, or 

portion thereof, the Board shall 

maintain a copy of the General 

Counsel’s certification under § 1206.6(b) 

of this part, a statement from the 

presiding official specifying the time 

and place of the meeting and naming 

the persons present, a record (which 

may be part of the transcript) of all votes 

and all documents considered at the 

meeting, and a complete transcript or

except that for meetings or portions of

of 5 U.S.C. 552b(c), the Board may 

maintain either a transcript, electronic 

recording, or a set of minutes. In lieu of 

a transcript or electronic recording, a set 

of minutes shall fully and accurately 

summarize any action taken, the reasons 

therefor and views thereon, documents 

considered and the members’ vote on 

each roll call vote, if any. 

(2) The Board shall make promptly 

available to the public copies of

transcription. 

(3) The Board shall maintain a 

complete verbatim copy of the 

transcript, a complete copy of the

recording of each meeting, or portion of 

a meeting, closed to the public, for a 

period of at least two (2) years after such 

meeting or until one (1) year after the 

conclusion of any Board proceeding

Distribution of Source Material to 

Exempt Persons and to General 

Licensees and Revision of General 

License and Exemptions; Extension of 

Comment Period 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule: extension of 

comment period. 

SUMMARY: On July 26, 2010, the U. S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC 

or the Commission) published for public 

comment a proposed rule to amend its 

regulations to require that the initial 

distribution of source material to 

exempt persons or general licensees be 

explicitly authorized by a specific 

license. The proposed rule would also 

modify the existing possession and use 

requirements of the general license for 

small quantities of source material and 

revise, clarify, or delete certain source 

material exemptions from licensing. The 

public comment period for this 

proposed rule was to have expired on 

November 23, 2010. The NRC has 

determined a need to develop draft 

implementation guidance to support 

this proposed rule and plans to publish 

such draft guidance no later than early 

January 2011. In order to allow the 

public sufficient time to review and 

comment on the proposed rule with the 

benefit of review of the draft 

implementation guidance, the NRC has 

decided to extend the comment period 

until February 15, 2011. 

DATES: The comment period has been 

extended and now expires on February 

15, 2011. Comments received after this 

date will be considered if it is practical 

to do so, but the NRC is able to assure 

consideration only for comments 

received on or before this date. 

ADDRESSES: Please include Docket ID 

NRC–2009–0084 in the subject line of 

your comments. For instructions on

Discussion 

The NRC published a proposed rule 

that would amend its regulations in part 

40 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations to require that the initial 

distribution of source material to 

exempt persons or general licensees be 

explicitly authorized by a specific 

license, which would include new 

reporting requirements. The proposed 

rule is intended to provide the 

Commission with more complete and 

timely information on the types and 

quantities of source material distributed 

for use either under exemption or by 

general licensees. In addition, the NRC 

is proposing to modify the existing 

possession and use requirements of the 

general license for small quantities of 

source material to better align the 

requirements with current health and 

safety standards. Finally, the NRC is 

proposing to revise, clarify, or delete 

certain source material exemptions from 

licensing to make the exemptions more 

risk informed. This proposed rule 

would affect manufacturers and 

distributors of certain products and 

materials containing source material 

and certain persons using source 

material under general license and 

under exemptions from licensing. 

The proposed rule was published on 

July 26, 2010 (75 FR 43425) and the 

public comment period was to have 

expired November 23, 2010. The NRC 

has determined a need to develop draft 

implementation guidance to support 

this proposed rule and plans to publish 

the draft implementation guidance no
