Abstract: FINAL RULE- 10 CFR PARTS 30, 32, and 35, MEDICAL USE OF BYPRODUCT MATERIAL, MEDICAL EVENT DEFINITIONS, TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE, AND CLARIFYING AMENDMENTS The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations related to the medical use of byproduct material. The final rule will amend the NRC regulations related to the medical use of byproduct material. This rule amends the reporting and notification requirements for a medical event (ME) for permanent implant brachytherapy. This rule also amends the training and experience (T&E) requirements to remove from multiple sections the requirement to obtain a written attestation for an individual who is certified by a specialty board whose certification process has been recognized by the NRC or an Agreement State; and address a request filed in a petition for rulemaking (PRM), PRM-35-20, to exempt certain board-certified individuals from certain T&E requirements (i.e., “grandfather” these individuals). Additionally, this rule amends the requirements for measuring molybdenum contamination; adds a new requirement for the reporting of failed technetium and rubidium generators; and allows licensees to name associate radiation safety officers (ARSOs) on a medical license. NOTE: This rule affects three clearances: 10 CFR 30 (3150-0017), 10 CFR 35 (3150-0010), and NRC Form 313 (3150-0120).

Short Statement: The final rule will increase burden for Part 35 by 31,359. The amendments that affect the burden and/or cost for complying with the regulations constitute the elements of a safety program the NRC considers essential to provide a risk-informed, performance-based approach for regulating the medical use of byproduct material. This final rule will reduce the potential unwarranted radiation exposure to patients, provide greater flexibility to licensees, reduce the paperwork burden for licensees, and clarify current regulations.
