Discussion

    The NRC published a proposed rule (75 FR 43425; July 26, 2010) that 
would amend its regulations in part 40 of Title 10 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 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. 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 public comment period 
runs through February 15, 2011.
    In conjunction with the proposed rule, the NRC has developed draft 
implementation guidance. The draft implementation document provides 
guidance to a licensee or applicant for implementation of proposed 10 
CFR Part 40, ``Distribution of Source Material to Exempt Persons and to 
General Licensees and Revision of General License and Exemptions.'' It 
is intended for use by applicants, licensees, Agreement States, and NRC 
staff. The document describes methods acceptable to the NRC staff for 
implementing proposed 10 CFR part 40. The approaches and methods 
described in the document are provided for information only. Methods 
and solutions different from those described in the document are 
acceptable if they meet the requirements in proposed 10 CFR part 40. 
The guidance is provided in the form of questions and answers on the 
provisions of the proposed rule. The draft implementation guidance 
document for proposed 10 CFR part 40 is available electronically under 
ADAMS Accession Number ML103160241, and can also be found at https://www.regulations.gov by searching on Docket ID NRC-2011-0003.
    At this time, the NRC is announcing the availability for public 
comment of ``Implementation Guidance for 10 CFR Part 40 Distribution of 
Source Material to Exempt Persons and to General Licensees and Revision 
of General License and Exemptions.'' The document provides guidance on 
implementing the provisions of proposed 10 CFR part 40, ``Distribution 
of Source Material to Exempt Persons and to General Licensees and 
Revision of General License and Exemptions.''

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 28th day of December 2010.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Deputy Director, Licensing and Inspection Directorate, Division of
