IsoStent, Inc.; Withdrawal of Petition for Rulemaking

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is withdrawing, at the petitioner's request, a petition for rulemaking (PRM-35-14) filed by IsoStent, Inc. By a letter dated May 9, 1996, the petitioner requested that the NRC amend its regulations by adding a new section to address permanently implanted intraluminal stents, including phosphorus-32 and strontium-89 radioisotope stents. The petitioner also requested that the NRC add a new section to specify training and experience requirements for qualified physicians responsible for placing radioisotope stents in patients. The NRC published a Federal Register notice on June 27, 1996 (61 FR 33388) announcing receipt of the petition. Recently, in another letter dated October 24, 1996, the petitioner requested that the petition be withdrawn based on public comments received by the NRC on this petition, and other information.
