SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES 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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:19 Jul 10, 2008 Jkt 214001 staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 6.5, ‘‘General Safety Standards for Installations Using Nonmedical Sealed Gamma-Ray Sources,’’ was issued with a temporary identification as Draft Regulatory Guide DG–6006. This guide directs the reader to the type of information acceptable to the NRC staff to approve the initial transfer of devices containing byproduct material to persons generally licensed under Title 10, Section 31.5, ‘‘Certain Detecting, Measuring, Gauging, or Controlling Devices, and Certain Devices for Producing Light or an Ionized Atmosphere,’’ of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 31.5) or equivalent regulations of an Agreement State. The requirements for transferring gamma-ray sources to general licensees appear in 10 CFR 32.51, ‘‘Byproduct Material Contained in Devices for Use Under § 31.5; Requirements for License to Manufacturer, or Initially Transfer’’. One method of complying with the requirements of 10 CFR 32.51 appears in NUREG–1556, Volume 3, ‘‘Consolidated Guidance about Materials Licenses: Applications for Sealed Source and Device Evaluation and Registration.’’ This regulatory guide endorses the description of the information to be submitted in the application for the initial transfer and installation of sealed gamma-ray sources contained in the current revision of Volume 3 of NUREG–1556 as a method acceptable to the NRC staff. In January 2008, DG–6006 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 6.5, Revision 1 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.

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 10.5, ‘‘Applications for a Type A License of Broad Scope,’’ was issued with a temporary identification as Draft Regulatory Guide DG–0015. This guide directs the reader to the type of information needed by the NRC staff to evaluate an application for a Type A license of broad scope for byproduct material. Title 10, Part 33, ‘‘Specific Domestic Licenses of Broad Scope for Byproduct Material,’’ of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 33) regulates this type of license. This regulatory guide endorses the methods and procedures contained in the current revision of NUREG–1556, Volume 11, ‘‘Consolidated Guidance about Materials Licenses: ProgramSpecific Guidance about Licenses of Broad Scope,’’ as a process that the NRC staff finds acceptable for meeting the E:\FR\FM\11JYN1.SGM 11JYN1 39994 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 134 / Friday, July 11, 2008 / Notices regulatory requirements of 10 CFR Part 33. Volume 11 of NUREG–1556 is not intended to be used alone. Because broad-scope licensees may be involved in many different program areas (e.g., medicine, research and development, manufacturing and distribution), Volume 11 frequently refers the user to other more program-specific guidance documents in the NUREG–1556 series. A single document containing all of the guidance that might be required by a broad-scope licensee or an applicant for a broad-scope license would be unwieldy and may become obsolete as guidance in the individual program areas is revised. Volume 11 of NUREG– 1556 takes a more risk-informed, performance-based approach to the information needed to support an application for a specific license of broad scope. Applicants should consider the entire NUREG–1556 series when preparing broad-scope license applications. NRC staff will use applicable portions of the complete NUREG–1556 series when reviewing applications. II.

Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 6.1, ‘‘Leak Testing Radioactive Brachytherapy Sources,’’ was issued with a temporary identification as Draft Regulatory Guide DG–6003. This guide directs the reader to methods and procedures acceptable to the staff of the NRC for leak testing radioactive brachytherapy sources. Possession and use of brachytherapy sources is an activity requiring a license pursuant to Title 10, section 30.3, ‘‘Activities Requiring License,’’ of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 30.3). The requirements in 10 CFR 35.67, ‘‘Requirements for Possession of Sealed Sources and Brachytherapy Sources,’’ state in part, that the sources are to be periodically leak tested and that the test be capable of detecting the presence of 185 becquerel (Bq) (0.005 microcurie (µCi)) of radioactive material in the sample. The regulations also require that the source be immediately withdrawn from use if the test reveals the presence of 185 Bq (0.005 µCi) or more of removable contamination. This regulatory guide endorses the methods and procedures for leak testing radioactive brachytherapy sources contained in the current revisions of NUREG–1556, Volume 3, ‘‘Consolidated Guidance about Materials Licenses: PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Applications for Sealed Source and Device Evaluation and Registration’’ and NUREG–1556, Volume 9, ‘‘Consolidated Guidance about Materials Licenses: Program-Specific Guidance about Medical Use Licenses’’ as a process that the NRC staff has found to be acceptable for meeting the regulatory requirements.

Notice of Issuance of Regulatory Guide

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of Issuance and Availability of Regulatory Guide 10.5, 
Revision 2.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark Orr, Regulatory Guide Development 
Branch, Division of Engineering, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research,

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 10.5, ``Applications for a Type A 
License of Broad Scope,'' was issued with a temporary identification as 
Draft Regulatory Guide DG-0015. This guide directs the reader to the 
type of information needed by the NRC staff to evaluate an application 
for a Type A license of broad scope for byproduct material. Title 10, 
Part 33, ``Specific Domestic Licenses of Broad Scope for Byproduct 
Material,'' of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 33) 
regulates this type of license.
    This regulatory guide endorses the methods and procedures contained 
in the current revision of NUREG-1556, Volume 11, ``Consolidated 
Guidance about Materials Licenses: Program-Specific Guidance about 
Licenses of Broad Scope,'' as a process that the NRC staff finds 
acceptable for meeting the

[[Page 39994]]

regulatory requirements of 10 CFR Part 33.
    Volume 11 of NUREG-1556 is not intended to be used alone. Because 
broad-scope licensees may be involved in many different program areas 
(e.g., medicine, research and development, manufacturing and 
distribution), Volume 11 frequently refers the user to other more 
program-specific guidance documents in the NUREG-1556 series. A single 
document containing all of the guidance that might be required by a 
broad-scope licensee or an applicant for a broad-scope license would be 
unwieldy and may become obsolete as guidance in the individual program 
areas is revised. Volume 11 of NUREG-1556 takes a more risk-informed, 
performance-based approach to the information needed to support an 
application for a specific license of broad scope. Applicants should 
consider the entire NUREG-1556 series when preparing broad-scope 
license applications. NRC staff will use applicable portions of the 
complete NUREG-1556 series when reviewing applications.

II. Further Information

    In January 2008, DG-0015 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 10.5, Revision 2 are available through the 
NRC's public Web site under ``Regulatory Guides'' at  https://
www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/.
    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 PDR's mailing address is USNRC PDR, Washington, DC 20555-
0001. The PDR can also be reached by telephone at (301) 415-4737 or 
(800) 397-4209, by fax at (301) 415-3548, and by e-mail to pdr@nrc.gov.
    Regulatory guides are not copyrighted, and NRC approval is not 
required to reproduce them.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 3rd day of July, 2008.
