Withdrawal of Regulatory Guide 7.3; Procedures for Picking Up and Receiving Packages of Radioactive Material

Résumé

This document is correcting the document published in the Federal Register on June 15, 2012 (77 FR 36017). Today's document supersedes that document and republishes it in its entirety with corrections. This document, by way of explanation, is including previously omitted text that establishes a better rationale for withdrawing the regulatory guide (RG). The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) is withdrawing RG 7.3, "Procedures for Picking Up and Receiving Packages of Radioactive Material." The RG is being withdrawn because it is outdated and the relevant information contained in it has been updated and incorporated into Revision 1 of RG 7.7, "Administrative Guide for Verifying Compliance with Packaging Requirements for Shipment and Receipt of Radioactive Material," which was issued in March 28, 2012 (77 FR 18871).
