Requirements for Those Who Possess Certain Industrial Devices Containing Byproduct Material to Provide Requested Information

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations to add an explicit requirement that general licensees, who possess certain measuring, gauging, or controlling devices that contain byproduct material, provide the NRC with information concerning these devices. The NRC intends to use this provision to request information concerning devices that present a comparatively higher risk of exposure to the public or property damage. The final rule is intended to help ensure that devices containing byproduct material are maintained and transferred properly and are not inadvertently discarded.
