Dear Mr. Chai.wan:

l Enclosed for the information of the Subcommittee is a copy of a Notice of Final Rulemaking to be published in the Federal Recister. The U.S. Nuciear Regulatory Commission (NRC)is amending 10 CFR Part 31 to add an expticit requirement that certain general licensees possess devices containing byproduct material respond to NRC rect,ests for information conceming devices that they have received for use under generallice ,is provision will be used primarily to institute a registration system for devices using certain quantities of specific radionuclides that are primartly used in comtnere:a! and industnal applications.

NRC has observed a number of instances in the past where genera!ry licensed devicco have not been handled or disposed of properiy. This amendment will allow NRC to 2ccount for devices that have been distributed for use under the general license and tf sereby reduce the potential for incidents ttut could result in unnecessary radiation expcsure to the public as well as contamination of property. This change will have no adverse impact on the health and safety of workers or the public and is not expected to !mpose a significant burden on licensees Sincerely, 1
