SUBJECT:

S FF REQUIREMENTS - SECY-97-028 - RULEMAKING PLAN FOR REVISION OF PROTOTYPE TESTING REQUIREMENTS FOR HANDS, DIALS, AND POINTERS USING TRITIUM: RESPONSE TO PRM-32-4 TO PUT TIMEPIECES WITH GASEOUS TRITIUM LIGHT SOURCES ON THE SAME REGULATORY BASIS AS TIMEPIECES WITH LUMINOUS TRITIUM PAINT This is to advise you that the Commission has not objected to implementation of the proposed Rulemaking Plan. The staff should ensure that the proposed regulatory guide on prototype testing procedures for various types of timepieces is made available for use by applicants no later than the effective date of the final rule change to 10 CFR 32.14.

The staff should consider the need to revise 10 CFR Parts 31 and 32, and corresponding sections of 10 CFR Part 30, to make the rules for manufacture and distribution of generally-licensed and exempt products or materials more flexible and user-friendly, while still maintaining an adequate level of safety. The staff should proceed quickly with the' future regulatory improvements mentioned in the last two sentences of Section N in the Rulemaking Plan, as available resources permit, and to expand this effort to include generally-licensed products and materials as well.
