Items Containing Byproduct Material Incidental to Production Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Regulatory basis; request for comment.
AGENCY:

jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with PROPOSALS

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission NRC is requesting comment on a regulatory basis to support developing a rulemaking that would amend its regulations by adding a new class exemption from licensing and associated distribution requirements. This new class exemption would create a path for licensing current and future products that contain byproduct material incidental to their production. The rulemaking would resolve a petition for rulemaking PRM, PRM3065, submitted by GE
Osmonics, Inc. on April 18, 2011, requesting changes to the regulations to allow commercial distribution and redistribution of polycarbonate track etched membranes.
DATES: Submit comments by April 5, 2021. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is able to ensure consideration only for comments received before this date.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods;
however, the NRC encourages electronic comment submission through the Federal Rulemaking Website:

II. Discussion To facilitate early stakeholder engagement on the rulemaking process, the NRC is requesting comment on a regulatory basis to support a rulemaking that would amend 1 part 30 of title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations 10
CFR, Rules of General Applicability to Domestic Licensing of Byproduct Material, by adding a new class exemption from licensing requirements for items containing byproduct material incidental to their production, and 2
10 CFR part 32, Specific Domestic Licenses to Manufacture or Transfer Certain Items Containing Byproduct Material, licensing requirements for distribution of those items.
The regulatory basis is developed as a precursor to a proposed rule and describes the NRCs preferred approach for resolving PRM3065. The rulemaking would close the regulatory gap for these irradiated products, create appropriate criteria for evaluating public health and safety impacts of these products, reduce burden on existing licensees, and provide consistency for regulating products within this class.
