NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
10 CFR Part 35
[NRC-2008-0071]
RIN 3150-AI26
Medical Use of Byproduct Material--Amendments/Medical Event
Definitions; Extension of Comment Period
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule: Extension of comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On August 6, 2008 (73 FR 45635), the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) published for public comment a proposed rule that
would amend its regulations in 10 CFR Part 35, ``Medical Use of
Byproduct Material'' to change medical event definitions. The public
comment period for this proposed rule was to have expired on October
20, 2008.
By letter dated September 16, 2008, the NRC's Advisory Committee on
the Medical Use of Isotopes (ACMUI) requested an extension to November
7, 2008. As explained in the letter, the fall meeting of the ACMUI is
scheduled for October 27 and 28, 2008, and the subject matter in the
proposed rule is on the agenda for discussion at this public meeting.
ACMUI believes that it will be able to provide better comment on the
proposed rule following this discussion. Due to the complex nature of
the proposed medical rule and the high public interest of the medical
community, the NRC has decided to extend the comment period until
November 7, 2008.
DATES: The comment period has been extended and now expires on November
7, 2008. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is
practical to do so, but the NRC is able to assure consideration only
for comments received on or before this date.
ADDRESSES: Please include the following number RIN 3150-AI26 in the
subject line of your comments. Comments on rulemakings submitted in
