Program-Specific Guidance About Commercial Radiopharmacy Licenses

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

II. Further Information

    NUREG-1556, Volume 13, Revision 2 provides program-specific 
guidance to assist applicants and licensees in preparing applications 
for materials licenses for commercial radiopharmacies. In particular, 
it describes the types of information needed to complete NRC Form 313, 
``Application for Materials License.'' It also provides the NRC with 
criteria for evaluating a license application. The purpose of this 
notice is to provide the public with an opportunity to review and 
provide comments on draft NUREG-1556, Volume 13, Revision 2, 
``Consolidated Guidance About Materials Licenses: Program-Specific 
Guidance About Commercial Radiopharmacy Licenses.'' These comments will 
be considered in the final version or subsequent revisions.
    This draft NUREG-1556, Volume 13, Revision 2 does not include any 
revisions associated with the proposed rule ``Medical Use of Byproduct 
Material-Medical Event Definitions, Training and Experience, and 
Clarifying Amendments.'' That proposed rule would amend the following 
requirements in parts 30, 32, and 35 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations related to commercial nuclear pharmacies:
     Removal of the requirement for the board certified nuclear 
pharmacist to have an attestation statement in addition to the board 
certificate;
     measuring molybdenum contamination and reporting of failed 
technetium generators;
     labeling requirements for radioactive drugs; and
     clarifying other revisions to the regulations.
    This draft NUREG-1556, Volume 13, Revision 2 does not include any 
guidance for the proposed rule revisions because that rule is not final 
at this time.
    The proposed rule, ``Medical Use of Byproduct Material-Medical 
Event Definitions, Training and Experience, and Clarifying 
Amendments,'' and proposed changes to NUREG-1556 commercial 
radiopharmacy licenses

[[Page 8228]]

associated with the proposed rule were published for public comment in 
the Federal Register (79 FR 42409 and 79 FR 42224) on July 21, 2014. 
Comments received on those changes in the proposed rule and guidance 
are being considered by the NRC staff separately. If the proposed rule 
becomes final, the proposed revisions to NUREG-1556, Volume 13 
addressing the implementation of the proposed rule will be incorporated 
into NUREG-1556, Volume 13, Revision 2 before its final publication.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 13th day of January, 2017.

    For the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Deputy Director, Division of Material Safety, State, Tribal and 
Rulemaking Programs, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
