SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has published a

comment (70 FR 43646; July 28, 2005). The public comment period runs 
from July 28 thru October 11, 2005. As part of the public comment 
process, the NRC plans to hold two transcribed public meetings to 
solicit comments on the proposed rule. During the comment period, 
comments may also be mailed to the NRC or submitted via fax or e-mail. 
The meetings are open to the public and all interested parties may 
attend. The first meeting will be held at the NRC in Rockville, MD. The 
second meeting will be held at the offices of the Texas Department of 
State Health Services in Houston, TX.

DATES: August 29, 2005, from 9 a.m.--3 p.m. in Rockville, MD, and 
September 20, 2005, from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Houston, TX.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of these meetings is to obtain 
stakeholder comments on the National Source Tracking Proposed Rule. The 
proposed rule would require licensees to report certain transactions 
involving certain sealed sources of concern to the National Source 
Tracking System. These transactions would include manufacture, 
transfer, receipt, or disposal of the nationally tracked source. The 
proposed rule would also require each licensee to provide its initial 
inventory of nationally tracked sources to the National Source Tracking 
System and annually verify and reconcile the information in the system 
with the licensee's actual inventory. In addition, the proposed rule 
would require manufacturers to assign a unique serial number to each 
nationally tracked source. The proposed rule is available on NRC's 
rulemaking Web site: http://ruleforum.llnl.gov.
    Agenda: Welcome--10 minutes; NRC staff presentation on Rule 
Requirements--20 minutes; Public Comment--remainder. There will also be 
a poster board session on the transaction forms. To ensure that 
everyone who wishes has the chance to comment, we may impose a time 
limit on speakers.
    Attendees are requested to notify Julie Ward, telephone (301) 415-
5061, e-mail [email protected] or Ikeda King, telephone (301) 415-7278, e-
