American College of Nuclear Physicians and the Society of Nuclear Medicine; Denial of Petition for Rulemaking

Короткий зміст

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (``NRC'' or ``Commission'') received a petition for rulemaking submitted by the American College of Nuclear Physicians (``ACNP'') and the Society of Nuclear Medicine (``SNM'') (``petitioners''). The petitioners requested that the Commission amend its regulations governing the user and annual fees charged to their members due to increases in those fees. Among the specific requests contained in the petition were to establish a generic exemption for medical licensees who provide services in nonprofit institutions and to allow NRC licensees a greater voice in the development of new regulations by the NRC. After careful consideration, the Commission has decided not to adopt the proposals made in the petition.
