U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Question 78: Under �.1703 (d), licensees must notify the

NRC Regional Director at least 30 days prior to first using

respiratory protection equipment pursuant to �.1703 (a)

or (b). All current respiratory protection programs have

been documented under the provisions of �.103 (g) which

contains equivalent language. Do licensees need to

"re-notify" NRC if such notification has already taken

place under the "old" Part 20?



Answer: Licensees do not need to "re-notify" NRC if such

notification has taken place under the old Part 20.

(Reference: 10 CFR 20.1703 (d)).
