SUBJECT:
SECY-93-244 - PROPOSED ST FF h 1AGEMENT PLAN FOR NRC'S MEDICAL USE REGULATORY PROGRAM The Commission (with all Commissioners agreeing) has approved the staff's proposed management plan for the medical use regulatory program subject to the following provisions:
o In implementing various portions of the plan, the staff should take into consideration that two-thirds of the material licensees are regulated by Agreement States, which have a time lag for implementation of certain changes and should be involved in the regulatory program process as early as possible.
The methods of involving Agreement States in this process will need to be consistent with requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA).
If problems or potential problems are identified whicn arise out of FACA, staff should promptly inform the Commission.
o The staff should continue to be alert to potential inconsistencies between our new Part 20 dose limits and other regulatory requirements, as was noted between 10 CFR Part 20 and the patient release criteria in 10 CFR Part 35, so that they can be resolved in a timely manner.
o The staff should submit its draft m.icadministration management directive to the Commission for review and approval.
SECY NOTE:
SECY-93-244 WAS RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC AT THE SEPTEMBER 10, 1993 COMMISSION MEETING.

___ o The staff should solicit existing Agreement State guides and procedures used for implementing their regulatory programs for medical materials licensees for use as technical resources in developing and revising NRC guides and procedures, o
The staff is invited to provide comments on the editorial on NRC enforcement policy contained in the September, 1993 issue of the Health Physics Newsletter and the responses in the October, 1993 issue.
In particular, comments would be appreciated on whether the Commission should consider alternatives to the present enforcement policy which could make NRC efforts in enforcement more appropriate in terms of resource expenditures and enhance licensee performance towards meeting our mutual objective of protecting the public health and safety.
In the proposed annual briefing on the status of implementation of the management plan, the staff should include an update on the items listed above.
