AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

ACTION: Notice of Availability of final

NUREG.

SUMMARY: The NRC is announcing the

availability of the final NUREG–1556,

Volume 12, ‘‘Consolidated Guidance

about Materials Licenses: ProgramSpecific Guidance about Possession

Licenses for Manufacturing and

Distribution,’’ dated December 2000.

The NRC is using Business Process

Redesign techniques to redesign its

materials licensing process, as described

report is the 12th program-specific

guidance 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

Regulatory Guide 10.7, ‘‘Guide for the

Preparation of Applications for Licenses

for Laboratory and Industrial Use of

Small Quantities of Byproduct

Material,’’ dated August 1979; Nuclear

Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS)

Policy and Guidance Directive FC 84–1,

Draft Regulatory Guide DG–0007,

‘‘Guide for the Preparation of

Applications for Licenses to Authorize

Distribution of Various Items to

Commercial Nuclear Pharmacies and

Medical Use Licensees,’’ dated March

1997. This final report takes a more riskinformed, performance-based approach

to licensing possession for

manufacturing and distribution, and

reduces the amount of detailed

information needed to support an
