Klein, Chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and on March 26, 2008, Governor Edward G. Rendell of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania signed an Agreement as authorized by Section 274b. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act). The Agreement provides for the Commission to discontinue its regulatory authority and for VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:06 Apr 08, 2008 Jkt 214001 Pennsylvania to assume regulatory authority over the possession and use of byproduct material as defined in Sections 11e.(1), 11e.(3), and 11e.(4) of the Act, source material, special nuclear materials (in quantities not sufficient to form a critical mass), and land disposal of all waste for such materials. Under the Agreement, a person in Pennsylvania possessing these materials is exempt from certain Commission regulations. The exemptions have been previously published in the Federal Register and are codified in the Commission’s regulations as 10 CFR Part 150. Approximately 650 licenses have been transferred to Pennsylvania’s jurisdiction. This Agreement became effective on March 31, 2008, and is published here as required by Section 274e. of the Act. Notice of Waiver Termination On March 31, 2008, the Commission terminated the time-limited waivers of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 requirements granted by the Commission (70 FR 51581; August 31, 2005) to Pennsylvania for byproduct material as defined in Sections 11e.(3) and 11e.(4) of the Act.

The public comment period ended on July 18, 2007. The Commission received two comment letters. The comments do not affect the NRC staff’s assessment, which finds that the Pennsylvania Agreement materials program is adequate to protect public health and safety and compatible with the NRC’s program. The proposed Pennsylvania Agreement is consistent with Commission policy and thus meets the criteria for an Agreement with the Commission. After considering the request for an Agreement by the Governor of Pennsylvania, the supporting documentation submitted with the request for an Agreement, and its interactions with the staff of the Pennsylvania Bureau of Radiation Protection, the NRC staff completed an assessment of the Pennsylvania PO 00000 Frm 00076 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 19261 program. The agency made a copy of the staff assessment available in the NRC’s Public Document Room (PDR) and electronically on NRC’s Web site. Based on the staff’s assessment, the Commission determined on February 12, 2008, that the proposed Pennsylvania program for control of radiation hazards is adequate to protect public health and safety, and compatible with the Commission’s program.
