NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

Consolidated Guidance About

Materials Licenses: Program-Specific

Guidance About Service Provider

Licenses

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of availability of final

NUREG.

SUMMARY: The NRC is announcing the

availability of the final NUREG–1556,

Volume 18, ‘‘Consolidated Guidance

about Materials Licenses: ProgramSpecific Guidance about Service

Provider Licenses,’’ dated November

2000.

The NRC is using Business Process

Redesign techniques to redesign its

materials licensing process, as described

in NUREG–1539, ‘‘Methodology and

Findings of the NRC’s Materials

Licensing Process Redesign.’’ A critical

element of the new process is

consolidating and updating numerous

guidance documents into a NUREGseries of reports. This final NUREG

report is the eighteenth guidance

document developed to support an

improved materials licensing process.

This guidance is intended for use by

applicants, licensees, and the NRC staff,

and will also be available to Agreement

States. This document combines and

updates the guidance found in the

following draft regulatory guides:

‘‘Guide for the Application for a License

for the Use of Radioactive Materials for

Calibrating Radiation Survey and

Monitoring Instruments,’’ ‘‘Guide for the

Application for the Use of Radioactive

Materials in Leak-Testing Services,’’ and

‘‘Guide for the Applications for the Use

of Radioactive Materials in Servicing

Preregistered Gauges, Measuring

Devices, and Sealed Sources Used in

Such Devices.’’ Additionally, NRC staff

included information contained in the

corresponding Standard Review Plans

for these three draft regulatory guides.

This final report takes a more riskinformed, performance-based approach

to licensing service providers, and

reduces the information (amount and

level of detail) needed to support an

application for these activities. This

final document may be used for

preparing or reviewing service provider

licenses.

1556, Volume 18, may be requested by
