Download as PDF ethrower on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 200 / Wednesday, October 18, 2017 / Notices included in this category are a limited number of definitions, signs, labels, and scientific terms that are necessary for a common understanding of radiation protection principles among licensees, regulatory agencies, and members of the public. Such State standards should be essentially identical to those of the NRC, unless Federal statutes provide the State authority to adopt different standards. Basic radiation protection standards do not include constraints or other limits below the level associated with ‘‘adequate protection’’ that take into account considerations such as economic cost and other factors. ii. Category B—Cross Jurisdictional Program Elements This category pertains to a limited number of program elements that cross jurisdictional boundaries and that should be addressed to ensure uniformity of regulation on a nationwide basis. Some examples include sealed source and device registration certificates, transportation regulations, radiography certification, access authorization, and security plan requirements. Agreement State program elements shall be essentially identical to those of the NRC. Because program elements used in the Agreement State Program are necessary to maintain an acceptable level of protection of public health and safety, economic factors 5 shall not be considered. iii. Category C—Other NRC Program Elements This category includes NRC program elements that are important for an Agreement State to implement in order to avoid conflicts, duplications, gaps, or other conditions that would jeopardize an orderly pattern in the regulation of agreement material on a nationwide basis. Such Agreement State program elements shall embody the essential objective of the corresponding NRC program elements. Agreement State program elements may be more restrictive than NRC program elements; however, they should not be so restrictive as to prohibit a practice authorized by the AEA and in the national interest without an adequate public health and safety or environmental basis related to radiation protection. iv. Category D—Program Elements Not Required for Compatibility This category pertains to program elements that do not meet any of the criteria listed in Compatibility Category A, B, or C above and are not required to be adopted for purposes of compatibility. v. Category NRC—Areas of Exclusive NRC Regulatory Authority This category consists of program elements over which the NRC cannot discontinue its regulatory authority pursuant to the AEA or provisions of 10 CFR. However, an Agreement State may inform its licensees of these NRC requirements through an 5 For the purposes of this policy statement, economic factors are those costs incurred by the regulated community to comply with regulations that impact more than one regulatory jurisdiction in the NMP.

F. Conclusion The NRC and Agreement States will continue to jointly assess the NRC and Agreement State programs for the regulation of agreement material to identify specific changes that should be considered based on experience or to further improve overall safety, performance, compatibility, and effectiveness. The NRC encourages Agreement States to adopt and implement program elements that are patterned after those adopted and implemented by the NRC to foster and enhance an NMP that establishes a coherent and compatible nationwide program for the regulation of agreement material.
