SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ACMUI advises NRC on policy and 
technical issues that arise in regulating the medical use of byproduct 
material for diagnosis and therapy. Responsibilities include providing 
guidance and comments on changes in NRC rules, regulations, and guides 
concerning medical use; evaluating [[Page 2404]] certain non-routine 
uses of byproduct material for medical use; and providing technical 
assistance in licensing, inspection, and enforcement cases.
    Committee members possess the medical and technical skills needed 
to address evolving issues. Currently the membership of the ACMUI 
consists of five practicing physicians; a physician representing the 
U.S. Food and Drug Administration; one nuclear pharmacist; one medical 
physicist; one representative with the States' perspective; and one 
patients' rights and care advocate. The specialties of the physicians 
on the ACMUI are: nuclear cardiology (one); therapeutic radiology, with 
expertise in teletherapy and brachytherapy (two); nuclear medicine 
research (one); and nuclear medicine (one). Nominations for the 
position of radiation therapy technologist/medical dosimetrist are 
currently being evaluated. The nominee for the position of health care 
administrator has been approved.
    NRC is soliciting nominations of persons who are qualified in 
medical physics, with experience in radiation therapy. Persons having 
the aforementioned qualifications are encouraged to apply.
    Nominees must include four copies of their resume, describing their 
educational and professional qualifications, and provide their current 
address and telephone number.
    All new Committee members will serve a 2-year term, with possible 
reappointment to two additional 2-year terms.
    Nominees must be U.S. citizens and be able to devote approximately 
80 hours per year to committee business. Members will be compensated 
and reimbursed for travel (including per diem in lieu of subsistence), 
secretarial, and correspondence expenses. Nominees will undergo a 
security background check and will be required to complete financial 
disclosure statements, to avoid conflict of interest issues.

    Dated at Washington, DC, this 3rd day of January, 1995.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Andrew L. Bates,
Advisory Committee Management Officer, Office of the Secretary of the 
Commission.
