Guidance About Master Materials Licenses

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 10, ``Consolidated Guidance About Materials Licenses: 
Program-Specific Guidance about Master Materials Licenses,'' 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 10th program-specific guidance developed 
to support an improved materials licensing process.
    This guidance is intended for use by Federal applicants and 
licensees, and NRC staff. This document updates the guidance for 
applicants and licensees previously found in Policy and Guidance 
Directive PG 6-02, Revision 1: ``Standard Review Plan (SRP) for License 
Application for Master Material License,'' dated September 25, 1997.
