SUMMARY: The ACMUI provides advice to the NRC on policy and technical 
issues that arise in regulating the medical use of byproduct material 
for diagnosis and therapy. Responsibilities include providing guidance 
and comments on current and proposed NRC regulations and regulatory 
guidance concerning medical use; evaluating certain non-routine uses of 
byproduct material for medical use; and evaluating training and 
experience of proposed authorized users. The members are involved in 
preliminary discussions of major issues in determining the need for 
changes in NRC policy and regulation to ensure the continued safe use 
of byproduct material. Each member provides technical assistance in 
his/her specific area(s) of expertise, particularly with respect to 
emerging technologies. Members also provide guidance as to NRC's role 
in relation to the responsibilities of other Federal agencies as well 
as of various professional organizations and boards.
    Members of this Committee have demonstrated professional 
qualifications and expertise in both scientific and non-scientific 
disciplines including nuclear medicine; nuclear cardiology; radiation 
therapy; medical physics; radiopharmacy; State medical regulation; 
patient's rights and care; health care administration; medical 
research; medical dosimetry, and Food and Drug Administration 
regulation.
    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has decided to amend the ACMUI 
charter to allow it to provide consultation services when requested by 
the Director, Division of Industrial and Medical Nuclear Safety, Office
