U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

REPORT OF PROPOSED ACTIVITIES IN NON-AGREEMENT STATES, AREAS OF
EXCLUSIVE FEDERAL JURISDICTION, OR OFFSHORE WATERS
PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION AND THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE COMPLETING NRC FORM 241
Section 150.20 of 10 CFR 150 establishes a general license authorizing any person who holds a specific license from an "Agreement
State" (a State with which the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has entered into an effective agreement under subsection 274b of
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954) where the licensee maintains an office for directing the licensed activity and at which radiation safety
records are normally maintained, to conduct the same activity in Non-Agreement States, areas of exclusive Federal jurisdiction, or in
offshore waters if the specific license issued by the Agreement State does not limit the authorized activity to specified locations or
installations.

INSTRUCTIONS
Licensees cannot perform work in areas of exclusive Federal jurisdiction without either (a) filing NRC Form 241 for reciprocity in
accordance with 10 CFR 150.20(b) or (b) applying for a specific NRC license. An area of exclusive Federal jurisdiction is an area over
which the Federal government exercises legal control without interference from the jurisdiction and administration of State law. For
example: If the work is to be performed on Federal property in an Agreement State, the licensee must first determine the jurisdictional
status of the area where the licensee plans to work. If the jurisdictional status of the work site is unknown to the licensee, the
Agreement State licensee should contact the Federal agency that controls the facility where the work is to be performed. A written
statement concerning the jurisdictional status is not required in order to file for reciprocity; however, it is recommended that the
Agreement State licensee obtain such a statement for the file for future reference and inspection purposes.
For licensees seeking to conduct activities under reciprocity for the first time in a calendar year, submit this Form, one copy of the
Agreement State specific license and the fee specified in fee Category 16, 10 CFR 170.31. NRC must receive this filing at least 3
days before the licensee engages in activities permitted under the General License established by Section 150.20 of 10 CFR 150.
In general, the preferred method of filing is through the facsimile transmission of NRC Form 241, a copy of the Agreement State
license, and evidence that the appropriate fee requirements will be met within 3 days. This evidence can be a copy of the check or a
copy of NRC Form 629, if paying by credit card, that will be mailed to the NRC. The licensee should receive confirmation (by
telephone, e-mail, or facsimile) that NRC has received the facsimile. Alternatively, the licensee may file the required information
through the mail or other means as long as NRC receives the information at least 3 days before the licensee engages in the activity.
In completing NRC Form 241, it is important that the information submitted on NRC Form 241 be specific regarding the location and
date of use as well as the activity requested. If it is not possible to provide complete information, such as addresses for the locations
of work, the licensee should provide as much information as possible. The licensee is responsible for providing additional information
as revisions or clarifications as soon as such information becomes available.
Item 2.
For licensees seeking to conduct activities under reciprocity for the first time in a calendar year, submit this Form, one copy of the
Agreement State specific license and the fee specified in fee Category 16, 10 CFR 170.31. NRC must receive this filing at least 3
days before the licensee engages in activities permitted under the General License established by Section 150.20 of 10 CFR 150. The
licensee should check the "initial" box if this is the first submission of Form 241 for the year.
For modifications such to the information submitted on the initial NRC Form 241, such as additional work locations, changes to
radioactive material, work activities, information that clarifies or deletes specific locations or work sites, modifies work site contacts, or
adds or deletes dates of work, licensees should file by NRC Form 241 or letter, so that NRC receives the filing at least 3 days prior to
engage in such activity. Licensees should check the "change" box to indicate changes to the information provided on the initial NRC
Form 241. It is not necessary to resubmit the Agreement State license unless the license has been amended since the filing of the
initial NRC Form 241. No fee is required for changes.
NRC Form 241 may be used for submitting multiple work locations and clients for initial filings of NRC Form 241, as well as for
submitting revisions and clarifications to previous filings. Separate sheets may be used provided it includes all of the requested
information in Items 9-16 of NRC Form 241.
Under the general license, reciprocity activities are authorized only as long as the licensee holds a valid radioactive material license. If
the license expires during the year, an extension letter or a renewed license issued by the regulating agency must be subjitted to NRC
before performing any additional work under reciprocity.
Items 12. - 16.
Under the general license, reciprocity activities, including storage (usage), conducted in non-Agreement States and areas of exclusive
Federal jurisdiction, are limited to a total of 180 days in any calendar year except for work conducted in off-shore waters, which is
authorized for an unlimited period of time in a calendar year. NRC tracks reciprocity usage on the basis of approved usage days. NRC
will not approve any activity under the general license which causes the total usage days to exceed 180 days, except for work
conducted in off-shore waters. NRC may note and notify the licensee that a filing proposes reciprocity activities which approach or
would exceed the 180-day limit. It is important that licensees track the days of use and clarify or delete dates of work when applicable.
Item 12. should reference the proposed beginning and ending dates of work for each work location with the total number of days
worked recorded in Item 13. Item 14. should be completed to show additional work dates different from those provided on the initial
NRC Form 241 and Item 15. should indicate dates when work was not performed, as initially requested, that need to be deleted from
the total work days. The Location Reference Number in Item 16. is generated by the NRC for use in tracking reciprocity activities and
is specific for each work location. The Location Reference Number should be referenced for any revisions or clarifications to work
location information.

Item 18 Licensees should identify the specific make and model numbers of sealed sources and devices.
NOTE: Inspections by NRC of activities performed in non-Agreement States, areas of exclusive Federal jurisdiction, or offshore
waters by Agreement State licensees operating under the general license in 10 CFR 150.20 will be conducted at the listed
work site location(s). Failure to file an NRC Form 241 may result in the issuance of a notice of violation, the proposed
imposition of a civil penalty, or an order suspending, modifying, or revoking the license as specified in the "General Statement
of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions."
Agreement State licensees seeking to conduct activities under Reciprocity should file this Form, one copy of the Agreement State
license, and the appropriate fee with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regional Administrator listed below for the region in

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any specific license issued by an Agreement State to a person engaging in
activities in a non-Agreement State, in an area of exclusive Federal jurisdiction within an Agreement State, or in offshore waters under
the general licenses provided in this section, the general licenses provided in this section are subject to all the provisions of the Act,
now or hereafter in effect, and to all applicable rules, regulations, and orders of the Commission including the provisions of §§ 30.7 (a)
through (f), 30.9, 30.10, 30.14(d), 30.34, 30.41, and 30.51 to 30.63, inclusive, of part 30 of this chapter; §§ 40.7 (a) through (f), 40.9,
40.10, 40.41, 40.51, 40.61, 40.63 inclusive, 40.71 and 40.81 of part 40 of this chapter; §§ 70.7 (a) through (f), 70.9, 70.10, 70.32,
