10 CFR Parts 34, 36, and 39

RIN 3150-AG21


New Dosimetry Technology; Confirmation of Effective Date

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is confirming the 
effective date of January 8, 2001, for the direct final rule that 
appeared in the Federal Register of October 24, 2000 (65 FR 63750). 
This direct final rule amended the NRC's regulations that govern 
radiological safety to allow licensees to use any type of personnel 
dosimeter that requires processing to determine the radiation dose, 
provided that the processor of the dosimeter is accredited under the 
National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), operated 
by the National Institutes of Standards and Technology.

DATES: The effective date of January 8, 2001, is confirmed for this 
direct final rule.

ADDRESSES: Documents related to this rulemaking, including comments 
received, may be examined at the NRC Public Document Room, 11555 
Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD. These same documents may also be viewed 
and downloaded electronically via the rulemaking website (http://ruleforum.llnl.gov). For information about the interactive rulemaking

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 24, 2000 (65 FR 63750), the NRC 
published in the Federal Register a direct final rule amending its 
regulations to allow licensees to use any type of personnel dosimeter 
that is processed by an accredited NVLAP processor. In the direct final 
rule, the NRC stated that if no significant adverse comments were 
received, the direct final rule would become final on the date noted 
above. The NRC did not receive any comments that warranted withdrawal 
of this direct final rule. Therefore, this rule will become effective 
as scheduled.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 3rd day of January, 2001.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Michael T. Lesar,
Acting Chief, Rules and Directives Branch, Division of Administration
