NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Consolidated Guidance About Materials Licenses: Guidance About 
Administrative Licensing Procedures

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of Availability of final NUREG.

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

SUMMARY: The NRC is announcing the availability of the final NUREG-
1556, Volume 20, ``Consolidated Guidance about Materials Licenses: 
Guidance about Administrative Licensing Procedures,'' dated December 
2000.
    The NRC is using Business Process Redesign techniques to redesign 
its materials licensing process, as described in NUREG-1539, 
``Methodology and Findings of the NRC's Materials Licensing Process 
Redesign.'' A critical element of the new process is consolidating and 
updating numerous guidance documents into a NUREG-series of reports. 
This final NUREG report is the 20th guidance document developed for the 
new process.
    This guidance is intended for use by the NRC staff, and will also 
be available to Agreement States, applicants, and licensees. This 
document combines and updates the guidance for NRC license reviewers 
and licensing assistants previously found in the documents listed in 
Appendix A of the NUREG. NRC licensing staff will use these 
administrative procedures to process license applications and prepare 
licenses.
    A free single copy of final NUREG-1556, Volume 20, may be requested 
by writing to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Mrs. Carrie 
Brown, Mail Stop TWFN 9-F-31, Washington, DC. 20555-0001.
