of § 1206.7 is re-named to more fully
advise the reader of matters addressed
therein. In section (a)(1) of the proposed
regulation a new section is added to
make clear that the Board may, instead

a meeting closed pursuant to section

section also sets forth the information
that must be included in a set of
minutes. Section (a)(2) of the proposed
amendment states the Board’s
responsibility to promptly make
available to the public copies of
transcripts, recordings, or minutes of
closed meetings, except where the
Board determines that such information
may be withheld pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552b(c). Section (a)(3) of the proposed
regulation addresses the Board’s
responsibility to retain copies of
transcripts, recordings or minutes of
closed meetings. Section (b) of 5 CFR
1206.7 is unchanged by the proposed
amendment.

forth the time and place of the meeting
and the persons present, which

except that for meetings or portions of
meetings closed pursuant to section (10)
of 5 U.S.C. 552b(c), the Board may
maintain either a transcript, electronic
recording, or a set of minutes. In lieu of
a transcript or electronic recording, a set

considered and the members’ vote on
each roll call vote, if any.
(2) The Board shall make promptly
available to the public copies of

duplication costs or the actual cost of
transcription.
(3) The Board shall maintain a
complete verbatim copy of the
transcript, a complete copy of the

Distribution of Source Material to

Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule: extension of
comment period.
AGENCY:
On July 26, 2010, the U. S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC
or the Commission) published for public
comment a proposed rule to amend its
regulations to require that the initial
distribution of source material to
exempt persons or general licensees be
explicitly authorized by a specific
license. The proposed rule would also
modify the existing possession and use
requirements of the general license for
small quantities of source material and
revise, clarify, or delete certain source
material exemptions from licensing. The
public comment period for this
proposed rule was to have expired on
November 23, 2010. The NRC has
determined a need to develop draft
implementation guidance to support
this proposed rule and plans to publish
such draft guidance no later than early
January 2011. In order to allow the
public sufficient time to review and
comment on the proposed rule with the
benefit of review of the draft
implementation guidance, the NRC has
decided to extend the comment period
until February 15, 2011.
DATES: The comment period has been
extended and now expires on February
15, 2011. Comments received after this
date will be considered if it is practical
to do so, but the NRC is able to assure
consideration only for comments
received on or before this date.

Discussion
The NRC published a proposed rule
that would amend its regulations in part
40 of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations to require that the initial
distribution of source material to
exempt persons or general licensees be
explicitly authorized by a specific
license, which would include new
reporting requirements. The proposed
rule is intended to provide the
Commission with more complete and
timely information on the types and
quantities of source material distributed
for use either under exemption or by
general licensees. In addition, the NRC
is proposing to modify the existing
possession and use requirements of the
general license for small quantities of
source material to better align the
requirements with current health and
safety standards. Finally, the NRC is
proposing to revise, clarify, or delete
certain source material exemptions from
licensing to make the exemptions more
risk informed. This proposed rule
would affect manufacturers and
distributors of certain products and
materials containing source material
and certain persons using source
material under general license and
under exemptions from licensing.
The proposed rule was published on
July 26, 2010 (75 FR 43425) and the
public comment period was to have
expired November 23, 2010. The NRC
has determined a need to develop draft
implementation guidance to support
this proposed rule and plans to publish
the draft implementation guidance no
