STC UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 May 23, 2019 ALL AGREEMENT STATES, VERMONT U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION FEDERAL REGISTER NOTICE EXTENDING THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD ON DRAFT APPROACHES REGARDING TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS FOR RADIOPHARMACEUTICALS (STC-19-029)
Purpose:
To inform the Agreement States that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards: (1) published a notice in the Federal Register on May 23, 2019, extending the public comment period on draft approaches regarding training and experience (T&E) requirements for radiopharmaceuticals (84 FRN 23812); and (2) plans to hold a webinar on the draft approaches with the Agreement States on May 30, 2019.
Background:
On May 2, 2019, the NRC published a notice in the Federal Register (84 FR 18874) requesting comments on draft approaches the staff developed regarding the T&E requirements for radiopharmaceuticals requiring a written directive. The NRC notified the Agreement States of this Federal Register notice (FRN) in a State and Tribal Communication letter dated May 3, 2019 (STC-19-023). The comment period was originally scheduled to end on June 3, 2019.
Discussion: In response to several requests from medical stakeholders, the NRC is extending the comment period to July 3, 2019, to allow more time for Agreement State, stakeholders, and members of the public to submit their comments. The FRN announcing the extension is enclosed with this letter and can also be accessed at https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/05/23/2019-10760/draft-approaches-for-addressing-training-and-experience-requirements-for-radiopharmaceuticals.
The NRC is also planning to conduct a webinar for the Agreement States on the draft approaches outlined in the May 2, 2019 FRN. The Agreement States webinar will be held on May 30, 2019, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EDT. Participation details will be provided to the Agreement States in a forthcoming RCPD letter.
