This final NUREG report is the nineteenth guidance document developed 
to support an improved materials licensing process.
    This guidance is intended for use by Agreement State licensees, NRC 
licensees, NRC staff, and will also be available to Agreement States. 
This document also provides contact organization guidance to NRC 
licensees who wish to work in Agreement States.
    This document combines and updates the guidance for applicants and 
licensees previously found in NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 1220, 
``Processing of `Report of Proposed Activities in Non-Agreement States, 
Areas of Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction, and Offshore Waters,' and 
Inspection of Agreement State Licensees Operating Under 10 CFR 
150.20''; NRC Information Notice No. 90-15: ``Reciprocity: Notification 
Of Agreement State Radiation Control Directors Before Beginning Work In

and 84-17 ``Jurisdiction 10
