register with the Department, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, an Agreement

the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the licensing agency of an Agreement State,
or a Licensing State that the transferee is licensed to receive the radioactive
material.

for shipment and transport of radioactive material shall be in accordance with the
