Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 174 / Thursday, September 10, 2009 / Proposed Rules distributor should report shipments of ‘‘larger’’ quantities to appropriate regulatory agencies. The same commenter also suggested that the 15pound limit should potentially be reduced to a lower limit that was more appropriate for use under a general license. Two commenters provided additional examples of cases when the use of source material under the general license could have resulted in exposures in excess of the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20. Reasons for Closure of the Petition erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with PROPOSALS-1 Although the NRC is not aware of widespread issues with the current general license requirements in 10 CFR 40.22, the NRC has collected and evaluated data on practices allowed under the general license which indicate that it may be possible in certain situations for exposures to occur when the requirements in 10 CFR Parts 19 and 20 would normally apply. The NRC concluded that the underlying issue of re-evaluating the safety significance of granting exemption for source material general licenses from 10 CFR Parts 19 and 20 is an important one and merits further consideration through rulemaking. The NRC will continue consideration of this issue as part of a proposed rulemaking on ‘‘Distribution of Source Material to Exempt Persons and General Licensees and Revision of 10 CFR 40.22 General License (Part 40),’’ RIN 3150–AH15. Further information on the rulemaking may be tracked through https:// www.regulations.gov under Docket ID NRC–2009–0084. Although the NRC will continue to consider the issues raised by the petition in the rulemaking process, the petitioners’ concerns may not be addressed exactly as the petitioners have requested. During the rulemaking process, the NRC will solicit comments from the public and will consider all comments before finalizing the rule. For the reasons cited in this document, the NRC closes the docket for PRM–40–27. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 20th day of August 2009. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Bruce S. Mallett, Acting Executive Director for Operations. [FR Doc.
