FINAL RULE - 10 CFR PARTS 30, 40, 70,
170, and 171. DISTRIBUTION OF SOURCE MATERIAL TO EXEMPT PERSONS AND
TO GENERAL LICENSEES AND REVISION OF GENERAL LICENSE AND
EXEMPTIONS. The NRC is amending its regulations in 10 CFR Part 40
to establish new requirements for distributors of source material
to persons exempt from the regulations or for use under a general
license in § 40.22. In addition, the rule modifies the existing
possession and use requirements for § 40.22 general licensees to
align the requirements with current health and safety standards.
Finally, the rule revises, clarifies, or deletes certain exemptions
in § 40.13(c) to make the exemptions more risk informed. Conforming
changes will be made to 10 CFR Parts 30, 70, 170 and 171. These
changes would affect manufacturers and distributors of products and
materials containing source material and future users of some
products used under exemptions from licensing and under the § 40.22
general license. The changes result in an increase in burden under
10 CFR Parts 19, 20, and 40, as well as additional reporting burden
on NRC Form 313, Application for Materials License. NOTE: This rule
affects four clearances: 10 CFR 40 (submitted as a request for a
new clearance number), 10 CFR 19 (3150-0044), 10 CFR 20
(3150-0014), and NRC Form 313 (3150-0120).
NRC Form 313A (ANP), NRC Form 313A (AUD), NRC Form 313A (AMP),
NRC Form 313A (RSO), NRC Form 313A (AUT), NRC Form 313A (AUS), NRC
Form 313A, NRC Form 313
The final rule adds a
requirement in 10 CFR 40.13(c)(10) that requires persons who
initially transfer products for use under a product exemption in 10
CFR 40.13(c) to obtain a specific license to be issued under 10 CFR
40.52. This means that those persons who previously operated as
general licensees (and therefore did not have to submit an
application to the NRC) and manufacture and initially distribute
products for use under 10 CFR 40.13(c) must now be licensed as
specific licensees. To become specific licensees, they must submit
an application (NRC Form 313, "Application for Materials License")
to the NRC. An estimated 30 licensees (10 annually) would be
required to submit NRC Form 313 as an application to become
specific licensees in order to distribute source material products
to persons for use under exemption. Of these 30 applicants, 18
applicants (approximately 6 annually) would also have to submit NRC
Form 313 (or the Agreement State equivalent) for possession and use
of source material instead of being able to continue to possess
source material under a general license. This results in an
additional burden of 218.4 burden hours.
