guidance to existing materials licensees covered under these types of 
licenses and to applicants preparing an application for one of these 
types of materials licenses. These NUREG volumes also provide the NRC 
staff with criteria for evaluating these types of license applications. 
The purpose of this notice is to notify the public that the
