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.

Acting Executive Director for Operations.
