NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[NRC-2009-0098]

10 CFR Part 35

RIN 3150-AI59


Medical Use of Byproduct Material--Authorized User Clarification, 
Confirmation of Effective Date

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Direct final rule: Confirmation of effective date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is confirming the 
effective date of September 28, 2009, for the direct final rule that 
was published in the Federal Register on July 14, 2009 (74 FR 33901). 
This direct final rule amended the NRC's regulations to clarify that 
individuals who do not need to comply with the training and experience 
requirements as described in the applicable regulations for the medical 
use of byproduct material (i.e., are ``grandfathered'') may serve as 
preceptors and work experience supervisors for individuals seeking 
recognition on NRC licenses for the same medical uses of byproduct 
material.

DATES: The effective date of September 28, 2009, is confirmed for this 
direct final rule.

ADDRESSES: Documents related to this rulemaking, including comments 
received, may be examined at the NRC Public Document Room, Room O-1F23, 
11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Edward M. Lohr, Office of Federal and 
State Materials and Environmental Management Programs, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, telephone 301-415-
0253, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 14, 2009 (74 FR 33901), the NRC 
published in the Federal Register a direct final rule amending its 
regulations in 10 CFR part 35 to clarify that individuals who do not 
need to comply with the training and experience requirements as 
described in the applicable regulations for the medical use of 
byproduct material (i.e., are ``grandfathered'') may serve as 
preceptors and work experience supervisors for individuals seeking 
recognition on NRC licenses for the same medical uses of byproduct 
material. In the direct final rule, NRC stated that if no significant 
adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become 
final on September 28, 2009. The NRC did not receive any comments that 
warranted withdrawal of the direct final rule. Therefore, this rule 
will become effective as scheduled.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 21st day of August 2009.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Michael T. Lesar,
Chief, Rulemaking, Directives and Editing Branch, Division of 
Administrative Services, Office of Administration.
