Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 200 / Wednesday, October 18, 2017 / Notices 48539 

5For the purposes of this policy statement, 

economic factors are those costs incurred by the 

regulated community to comply with regulations 

that impact more than one regulatory jurisdiction in 

the NMP. 

included in this category are a limited 

number of definitions, signs, labels, and 

scientific terms that are necessary for a 

common understanding of radiation 

protection principles among licensees, 

regulatory agencies, and members of the 

public. Such State standards should be 

essentially identical to those of the NRC, 

unless Federal statutes provide the State 

authority to adopt different standards. Basic 

radiation protection standards do not include 

constraints or other limits below the level 

associated with ‘‘adequate protection’’ that 

take into account considerations such as 

economic cost and other factors. 

ii. Category B—Cross Jurisdictional Program 

Elements 

This category pertains to a limited number 

of program elements that cross jurisdictional 

boundaries and that should be addressed to 

ensure uniformity of regulation on a 

nationwide basis. Some examples include 

sealed source and device registration 

certificates, transportation regulations, 

radiography certification, access 

authorization, and security plan 

requirements. Agreement State program 

elements shall be essentially identical to 

those of the NRC. Because program elements 

used in the Agreement State Program are 

necessary to maintain an acceptable level of 

protection of public health and safety, 

economic factors 5 shall not be considered. 

iii. Category C—Other NRC Program 

Elements 

This category includes NRC program 

elements that are important for an Agreement 

State to implement in order to avoid 

conflicts, duplications, gaps, or other 

conditions that would jeopardize an orderly 

pattern in the regulation of agreement 

material on a nationwide basis. Such 

Agreement State program elements shall 

embody the essential objective of the 

corresponding NRC program elements. 

Agreement State program elements may be 

more restrictive than NRC program elements; 

however, they should not be so restrictive as 

to prohibit a practice authorized by the AEA 

and in the national interest without an 

adequate public health and safety or 

environmental basis related to radiation 

protection. 

iv. Category D—Program Elements Not 

Required for Compatibility 

This category pertains to program elements 

that do not meet any of the criteria listed in 

Compatibility Category A, B, or C above and 

are not required to be adopted for purposes 

of compatibility. 

v. Category NRC—Areas of Exclusive NRC 

Regulatory Authority 

This category consists of program elements 

over which the NRC cannot discontinue its 

regulatory authority pursuant to the AEA or 

provisions of 10 CFR. However, an 

Agreement State may inform its licensees of 

these NRC requirements through an 

appropriate mechanism under the State’s 

administrative procedure laws, as long as the 

State adopts these provisions solely for the 

purposes of notification, and does not 

exercise any regulatory authority as a result. 

F. Conclusion 

The NRC and Agreement States will 

continue to jointly assess the NRC and 

Agreement State programs for the regulation 

of agreement material to identify specific 

changes that should be considered based on 

experience or to further improve overall 

safety, performance, compatibility, and 

effectiveness. 

The NRC encourages Agreement States to 

adopt and implement program elements that 

are patterned after those adopted and 

implemented by the NRC to foster and 

enhance an NMP that establishes a coherent 

and compatible nationwide program for the 

regulation of agreement material.
