for permits and licenses. 

Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 3.52, 

‘‘Standard Format and Content for the 

Health and Safety Sections of License 

Renewal Applications for Uranium 

Processing and Fuel Fabrication,’’ was 

issued with a temporary identification 

as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG–3031. 

This guide directs the reader to the type 

of information acceptable to the NRC in 

its evaluation and verification of the 

safety basis for the licensing of special 

nuclear material (SNM). It references the 

application of NUREG–1520, ‘‘Standard 

Review Plan for the Review of a License 

Application for a Fuel Cycle Facility,’’ 

issued March 2002, to the format and 

content of license renewal applications 

for fuel cycle facilities. 

The regulatory framework that the 

NRC has established for procedures and 

criteria for the licensing of SNM is set 

forth in Title 10, Part 70, ‘‘Domestic 

Licensing of Special Nuclear Material,’’ 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR part 70). In 10 CFR 70.73, 

‘‘Renewal of Licenses,’’ the regulations 

specify that applications for license 

renewal (including licenses for enriched 

uranium processing, fuel fabrication, 

uranium enrichment, enriched uranium 

hexafluoride conversion, plutonium 

processing, fabrication of mixed-oxide 

fuel, and scrap recovery of SNM) must 

be filed in accordance with 10 CFR 

2.109, ‘‘Effect of Timely Renewal 

Application;’’ 10 CFR 70.21, ‘‘Filing;’’ 

10 CFR 70.22, ‘‘Contents of 

Applications;’’ 10 CFR 70.33, ‘‘Renewal 

of Licenses;’’ 10 CFR 70.38, ‘‘Expiration 

and Termination of Licenses and 

Decommissioning of Sites and Separate 

Buildings or Outdoor Areas;’’ and 10 

CFR 70.65, ‘‘Additional Content of 

Applications.’’ 

II. Further Information 

In September 2008, DG–3031 was 

published with a public comment 

period of 60 days from the issuance of 

the guide. The public comment period 

closed on November 10, 2008. The 

staff’s responses to the comments 

received are located in NRC’s 

Agencywide Documents Access and 

Management System (ADAMS) under 

accession number ML091050072.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2009–0142] 

State of New Jersey: NRC Staff 

Assessment of a Proposed Agreement 

Between the Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission and the State of New 

Jersey 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of a proposed Agreement 

with the State of New Jersey. 

SUMMARY: By letter dated October 16, 

2008, Governor Jon S. Corzine of New 

Jersey requested that the U. S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC or 

Commission) enter into an Agreement 

with the State of New Jersey (State or 

New Jersey) as authorized by Section 

274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, 

as amended (Act). 

Under the proposed Agreement, the 

Commission would relinquish, and the 

State would assume, portions of the 

Commission’s regulatory authority 

exercised within the State. As required 

by the Act, the NRC is publishing the 

proposed Agreement for public 

comment. The NRC is also publishing 

the summary of an assessment by the 

NRC staff of the State’s regulatory 

program. Comments are requested on 

the proposed Agreement, especially its 

effect on public health and safety. 

Comments are also requested on the 

NRC staff assessment, the adequacy of 

the State’s program, and the State’s 

program staff, as discussed in this 

notice. 

The proposed Agreement would 

exempt persons who possess or use 

certain radioactive materials in the State 

from portions of the Commission’s 

regulatory authority. The Act requires 

that the NRC publish those exemptions. 

Notice is hereby given that the pertinent 

exemptions have been previously 

published in the Federal Register and 

are codified in the Commission’s 

regulations as 10 CFR Part 150. 

DATES: The comment period ends June 

26, 2009. Comments received after this 

date will be considered if it is practical 

to do so, but the Commission cannot 

assure consideration of comments 

received after the comment period ends. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be 

submitted to Mr. Michael T. Lesar, 

Chief, Rulemaking and Directives 

Branch, MS TWB–05–B01M, Division of 

Administrative Services, Office of 

Administration, Washington, DC 20555– 

0001. Members of the public are invited 

and encouraged to submit comments 

electronically to http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Search on Docket 

ID: [NRC–2009–0142] and follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

The NRC maintains an Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System (ADAMS), which provides text 

and image files of NRC’s public 

documents. The documents may be 

accessed through the NRC’s Public 

Electronic Reading Room on the Internet 

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

adams.html. If you do not have access 

to ADAMS or if there are problems in 

accessing the documents located in 

ADAMS, contact the NRC Public 

Document Room (PDR) reference staff at 

(800) 397–4209, or (301) 415–4737, or 

by e-mail to pdr.resource@nrc.gov. 

Copies of comments received by NRC 

may be examined at the NRC Public 

Document Room, 11555 Rockville Pike, 

Public File Area O–1–F21, Rockville, 

Maryland. Copies of the request for an 

Agreement by the Governor of New 

Jersey including all information and 

documentation submitted in support of 

the request, and copies of the full text 

of the NRC Draft Staff Assessment are 

also available for public inspection in

Materials and Environmental 

Management Programs, U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Since 

Section 274 of the Act was added in 

1959, the Commission has entered into 

Agreements with 36 States. The 

Agreement States currently regulate 

approximately 19,000 Agreement 

material licenses, while the NRC 

regulates approximately 3,400 licenses. 

Under the proposed Agreement, 

approximately 500 NRC licenses will 

transfer to the State. The NRC 

periodically reviews the performance of 

the Agreement States to assure 

compliance with the provisions of 

Section 274. 

Section 274e requires that the terms of 

the proposed Agreement be published 

in the Federal Register for public 

comment once each week for four 

consecutive weeks. This notice is being 

published in fulfillment of that 

requirement. 

I. Background 

(a) Section 274b of the Act provides 

the mechanism for a State to assume 

regulatory authority from the NRC over 

certain radioactive materials and 

activities that involve use of the 

materials. The radioactive materials, 

sometimes referred to as ‘‘Agreement 

materials,’’ are: (a) Byproduct materials 

as defined in Section 11e.(1) of the Act; 

(b) byproduct materials as defined in 

Section 11e.(2) of the Act; (c) byproduct 

materials as defined in Section 11e.(3) 

of the Act; (d) byproduct materials as 

defined in Section 11e.(4) of the Act; (e) 

source materials; and (f) special nuclear 

materials, restricted to quantities not 

sufficient to form a critical mass. 

In a letter dated October 16, 2008, 

Governor Corzine certified that the State 

of New Jersey has a program for the 

control of radiation hazards that is 

adequate to protect public health and 

safety within New Jersey for the 

materials and activities specified in the 

proposed Agreement, and that the State 

desires to assume regulatory 

responsibility for these materials and 

activities. Included with the letter was 

the text of the proposed Agreement, 

which is shown in Appendix A to this 

notice. 

The radioactive materials and 

activities (which together are usually 

referred to as the ‘‘categories of 

materials’’) that the State requests 

authority over are:
