Technical Analysis of the Proposed
Action
10 CFR 30.11(a) states that the
Commission may grant such exemptions
from the requirements of the regulations
as it determines are authorized by law,
will not endanger life or property or the
common defense and security, and are
otherwise in the public interest. The
NRC staff has analyzed the Licensee’s
request to be authorized to receive and
take possession of sealed sources and
devices which have not been registered
with the NRC under 10 CFR 32.210 or
with an Agreement State. The NRC staff
considered that the Licensee is qualified
by sufficient training and experience
and has sufficient facilities and
equipment to handle these sources and
devices. Furthermore, NRC inspections
have evaluated the Licensee’s
performance and determined that the
Licensee has safely handled these
unregistered sources for many years.
Accordingly, the NRC staff has
concluded that granting this exemption
is authorized by law, will not endanger
life or property or the common defense
and security, and is in the public
interest.
activity that has the potential to cause
effects on historic properties. Therefore,
no further consultation is required
under Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
The NRC staff has prepared this EA in
support of the proposed action. On the
basis of this EA, the NRC finds that
there are no significant environmental
impacts from the proposed action, and
that preparation of an environmental
impact statement is not warranted.
Accordingly, the NRC has determined
that a Finding of No Significant Impact
is appropriate.
Environmental Impacts of the
Alternatives to the Proposed Action
Due to the largely administrative
nature of the proposed action, its
environmental impacts are small.
Additionally, denying the exemption
request would result in no change in
current environmental impacts. The
environmental impacts of the proposed
action and the no-action alternative are
therefore similar, and the no-action
alternative is accordingly not further
considered.
IV. Further Information
Documents related to this action,
including the application for exemption
and supporting documentation, are
available electronically at the NRC’s
Electronic Reading Room at https://
www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

Conclusion
The NRC staff has concluded that the
proposed action will not significantly
impact the quality of the human
environment. The NRC staff concludes
that the proposed action is the preferred
alternative.

The NRC staff has determined that the
proposed action is of a procedural
nature, and will not affect listed species

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 10.6,
‘‘Guide for the Preparation of
Applications for an Industrial
Radiography License,’’ was issued with
a temporary identification as Draft
Regulatory Guide DG–0016. This guide
directs the reader to the type of
information needed by the NRC staff to
evaluate an application for an industrial
radiography (radiography) license. The
term ‘‘radiography’’ as used in this
guide means an examination of the
structure of materials by nondestructive
methods using ionizing radiation from
gamma-emitting byproduct materials
(radioisotopes) to produce radiographic
images. This guide does not address the
research and development of
radiography devices or associated
equipment, or the commercial aspects of
manufacturing, distributing, and
servicing such devices and equipment.
The regulatory framework that the
NRC has established for radiography
includes Title 10, Part 30, ‘‘Rules of
General Applicability to Domestic
Licensing of Byproduct Material,’’ of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR
part 30); 10 CFR part 34, ‘‘Licenses for
Industrial Radiography and Radiation
Safety Requirements for Industrial
Radiographic Operations;’’ and NRC
Form 313, ‘‘Application for Materials
License.’’
This regulatory guide endorses the
methods and procedures contained in
the current revision of NUREG–1556,
Volume 2, ‘‘Consolidated Guidance
About Material Licenses: ProgramSpecific Guidance About Industrial
E:\FR\FM\10JYN1.SGM
10JYN1
39736
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 133 / Thursday, July 10, 2008 / Notices
Radiography Licenses,’’ as a process that
the NRC staff finds acceptable for
meeting the regulatory requirements and
providing the criteria for evaluating a
radiography license application.
II. Further Information
In January 2008, DG–0016 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 April 18, 2008. Electronic copies of
Regulatory Guide 10.6, Revision 2 are
available through the NRC’s public Web
site under ‘‘Regulatory Guides’’ at
https://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

Public Availability of Fiscal Year 2007
Agency Inventories Under the Federal
Activities Inventory Reform Act
SUMMARY: The Federal Activities
Inventory Reform (FAIR) Act, Public
Law 105–270, requires agencies to
develop inventories each year of
activities performed by their employees
that are not inherently governmental—
i.e., inventories of commercial activities.
The FAIR Act further requires OMB to
review the inventories in consultation
with the agencies and publish a notice
of public availability in the Federal
Register after the consultation process is
completed. In accordance with the FAIR
Act, OMB is publishing this notice to
announce the availability of inventories
from the agencies listed below. These
inventories identify both commercial
activities and activities that are
inherently governmental.
This is the second and final release of
the FAIR Act inventories for FY 2007.
Interested parties who disagree with the
agency’s initial judgment may challenge
the inclusion or the omission of an
activity on the list of activities that are
not inherently governmental within 30
working days and, if not satisfied with
this review, may appeal to a higher level
within the agency.
The Office of Federal Procurement
Policy has made available a FAIR Act
User’s Guide through its Internet site:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/
procurement/fair-index.html. This
User’s Guide will help interested parties
review FY 2007 FAIR Act inventories.
