Stewart:

1.have reviewed the FRN you sent this afternoon, and still have a few comments / concerns / questions.

1. First, referring to my e-mail note of 3 June, I am still not certain why the " annual" and " single-administration" modifiers of the dose limit have been

. eliminated in the current draft (bby comparison with the 20 April draft).

2. In several- placas, the FRN refers to the existing release criterion of a measured dose rate of less than 5 millirems per hour at a distance of one meter. I don't have a copy of Part 35 at home (which is where I am writing.

this) to check to see what the current rule actually says, but shouldn't this be in units of milliroentgens (mR), since that is what is actually being jm _

measured. i

3. The section title "RECORDKEEPING FOR ADMINISTRATIONS AB0VE 1.MILLISIEVE T 4M (0.1 REM)" would be more accurate if:it were "RECORDKEEPING FOR -

Qinh-l ADMINISTRATIONS RESULTING IN DOSES ABOVE 1 MILLISIEVERT (0.1 REM)". [

4. In the Discussion of the Final Rule Text, there is the following paragraph" '

L "In the case of breast-feeding women where the dose to the infant is likely to exceed 1 millisievert (0.1 rem), there is no specific requirement. to maintain a record indicating that breast-feeding status was determined prior to the release of the patient. However,:the NRC would find it acceptable to demonstrate compliance with the requirement to provide instructions if the 4 determination of breast-feeding status is made part of the licensee's procedural routine-for patient release."

l Doesn't.this second statement constitute the indirect introduction of a new regulatory requirement by way of the Statements of Consideration?

Alternatively, is-it assumed by NRC that in order for. licensees to comply with

  1. 164# 35.75 (a) and #164# 35.75-(d), they obviously have to develop procedures .t to-determine whether female patients are breast-feeding?

% 5. .When will-the new draft RG be available? I would very much like to review it.

p g 4 gg ,

6. Have you given any thought yet to comments #7 and #8 in my 3 June note (regarding NARM and written breast-feeding instructions, respectivvely)?
