SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing a revision 

to an existing guide in the agency’s 

‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series 

was developed to describe and make 

available to the public information such 

as methods that are acceptable to the 

NRC staff for implementing specific 

parts of the agency’s regulations, 

techniques that the staff uses in 

evaluating specific problems or 

postulated accidents, and data that the 

staff needs in its review of applications 

for permits and licenses. 

Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 10.7, 

‘‘Guide for the Preparation of 

Applications for Licenses for Laboratory 

and Industrial Use of Small Quantities 

of Byproduct Material,’’ was issued with 

a temporary identification as Draft 

Regulatory Guide, DG–0017. This guide 

directs the reader to the type of 

information needed by the NRC staff to 

evaluate an application for a specific 

license for laboratories and industries to 

use megabecquerel (MBq) (millicurie 

(mCi)) quantities of byproduct material 

(reactor- or accelerator-produced 

radionuclides). 

The regulatory framework that the 

NRC has established for laboratory and 

industrial use of small quantities of 

byproduct material is in Title 10, Part 

30, ‘‘Rules of General Applicability to 

Domestic Licensing of Byproduct 

Material,’’ of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR part 30). 

This regulatory guide endorses the 

methods and procedures for applying 

for a license for laboratory and 

industrial use of small quantities of 

byproduct material contained in the 

current revisions of NUREG–1556, 

Volume 7, ‘‘Consolidated Guidance 

About Materials Licenses: ProgramSpecific Guidance About Academic, 

Research and Development, and Other 

Licenses of Limited Scope’’ and 

NUREG–1556, Volume 12, 

‘‘Consolidated Guidance about Material 

Licenses: Program-Specific Guidance 

About Possession and Licenses for 

Manufacturing and Distribution,’’ as a 

process that the NRC staff finds 

acceptable. 

II. Further Information 

In April 2008, DG–0017 was 

published with a public comment 

period of 60 days from the issuance of 

the guide. No comments were received 

and the public comment period closed 

on June 30, 2008. Electronic copies of 

Regulatory Guide 10.7, Revision 2 are 

available through the NRC’s public Web 

site under ‘‘Regulatory Guides’’ at 

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/. 

In addition, regulatory guides are 

available for inspection at the NRC’s 

Public Document Room (PDR), which is 

located at Room O–1F21, One White 

Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, 

Rockville, Maryland 20852–2738. The 

PDR’s mailing address is USNRC PDR, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001. The PDR 

can also be reached by telephone at 

(301) 415–4737 or (800) 397–4209, by 

fax at (301) 415–3548, and by e-mail to 

pdr.resource@nrc.gov. 

Regulatory guides are not 

copyrighted, and NRC approval is not 

required to reproduce them.

Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 10.9, 

‘‘Guide for the Preparation of 

Applications for the Use of SelfContained Dry Source-Storage Gamma 

Irradiators,’’ was issued with a 

temporary identification as Draft 

Regulatory Guide, DG–0019. This 

regulatory guide directs the reader to the 

type of information acceptable to the 

NRC staff for review of an application 

for the use of a self-contained dry 

source-storage gamma irradiator. Title 

10, Part 36, ‘‘Licenses and Radiation 

Safety Requirements for Irradiators,’’ of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 

Part 36) contains the licensing, design, 

and radiation safety requirements for 

irradiators. In addition, licensees and 

applicants may be subject to portions of 

the requirements in 10 CFR Part 30, 

‘‘Rules of General Applicability to 

Domestic Licensing of Byproduct 

Material,’’ and 10 CFR Part 20, 

‘‘Standards for Protection Against 

Radiation.’’ 

This regulatory guide endorses the 

methods and procedures describing how 

to apply for a license to use a selfcontained dry source-storage gamma 

irradiator contained in the current 

revision of NUREG 1556, Volume 5,
