AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: This notice is to announce the renewal of the Advisory 
Committee on the Medical Uses of Isotopes (ACMUI) for a period of two 
years.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 
has determined that the renewal of the charter for the Advisory 
Committee on the Medical Uses of Isotopes for the two year period 
commencing on April 4, 1998, is in the public interest, in connection 
with duties imposed on the Commission by law. This action is being

guidance and comments on current and proposed NRC regulations and 
regulatory guidance concerning medical use; evaluating certain non-
routine uses of byproduct material for medical use; and evaluating 
training and experience of proposed authorized users. The members are 
involved in preliminary discussions of major issues in determining the 
need for changes in NRC policy and regulation to ensure the continued 
safe use of byproduct material. Each member provides technical 
assistance in his/her specific area(s) of expertise, particularly with 
respect to emerging technologies. Members also provide guidance as to 
NRC's role in relation to the responsibilities of other Federal 
agencies as well as of various professional organizations and boards.
    Members of this Committee have demonstrated professional 
qualifications and expertise in both scientific and non-scientific 
disciplines including nuclear medicine; nuclear cardiology; radiation 
therapy; medical physics; radiopharmacy; State medical regulation; 
patient's rights and care; health care administration; medical 
research; medical dosimetry, and Food and Drug Administration
