Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 133 / Thursday, July 10, 2008 / Notices 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. From this site, you can access the NRC’s Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS), which provides text and image files of NRC’s public documents.

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 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. Paul A. Denett, Administrator. Office of Management and Budget, Executive Office of the President.

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: Program-Specific Guidance About

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.
