NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Consolidated Guidance About Materials Licenses: Program-Specific 
Guidance About Licenses Authorizing Distribution to General Licensees

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 16, ``Consolidated Guidance about Materials Licenses: 
Program-Specific Guidance about Licenses Authorizing Distribution to 
General Licensees,'' dated December 2000.
    The NRC is using Business Process Redesign techniques to redesign 
its material 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 sixteenth program-specific guidance 
developed to support an improved materials licensing process.
    This final NUREG has been developed in parallel with the final 
rulemaking on 10 CFR parts 30, 31, 32, 170, and 171, ``Requirements for 
Certain Generally Licensed Industrial Devices Containing Byproduct 
Material.'' The final rule was published in the Federal Register on 
December 18, 2000 (65 FR 79161). This guidance is intended for use by 
applicants, licensees, NRC license reviewers, and other NRC personnel.
    A free single copy of final NUREG-1556, Volume 16, may be requested
