July 9, 1998

The Commission approved publication in the Federal Register of the proposed revision to the Commission's 1979 Medical Use Policy Statement, subject to the attached editorial changes to the notice, letters to Congress, and draft press release, and the following modification to the notice:

• the Statement of Considerations should solicit specific comment on the proposed word change in statement 2 from "NRC will minimize intrusion" to "NRC will not intrude."

The staff should ensure that the planned facilitated workshops and ACMUI meetings focus primarily on the proposed rule rather than on the policy statement and that the Federal Register notices for the revised policy statement and proposed rule are issued sequentially on the same day and as early in July as possible to allow adequate time for public review prior to the public meetings scheduled to begin in mid-August.
