Enclosure 2 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Fiscal Year 2021 Agency Report Question 2 Please keep track changes on to record or rescind any new government-unique standards (GUS) your agency began using in lieu of voluntary consensus standards (VCS) during FY 2021. Please note, GUS which are still in effect from previous years should continue to be listed, and you do not need to report your agencys use of a GUS where no similar VCS exists.
Start by reviewing Table 1: Current Government Unique Standards FY2021. If no changes, record the number of GUS in FY2021, save the file, and send to nrioux@nist.gov.
To add a new GUS, please go to Table 2: Government Unique Standards Added in FY2021 and use the template provided to add the GUS, VCS, and rationale. If more than one GUS is being added, please follow the template in listing any new GUS.
To rescind a GUS, (if they are no longer in use or have been replaced by a voluntary consensus standard) please cut the rescinded standard and paste in Table 3:
Government Unique Standards Rescinded in FY2021. Please add a Rationale for Rescinding explaining why the standard was rescinded.
Please record below the total number of GUS currently in use (previous years and new as of this FY). This number should include the previous total plus any new GUS added, and minus any GUS rescinded:
Number of GUS in FY2021: 2 + (new) - (rescinded) = 2 Table 1: Current Government Unique Standards FY2021 (1) Government Unique Standard NRC NUREG-1556, Consolidated Guidance about Materials Licenses [Incorporated: 2011].
Rationale (ANSI) N 13.2-1969, Guide for Administrative Practices in Radiation Monitoring, had been endorsed in Regulatory Guide 8.2, with the same title, issued in February 1973. The standard has not been revised since its inception, and it now refers to obsolete technical practices and outdated requirements. Therefore, Revision 1 of RG 8.2, published in May 2011, removed endorsement of ANSI N 13.2-1969. Guidance is now provided through two referenced NRC reports, that could be considered Government-unique standards: NUREG-1556, Consolidated Guidance about Materials Licenses, and NUREG-1736, Consolidated Guidance: 10 CFR Part 20Standards for Protection against Radiation.
