	Subject: 	withdrawal of nrc proposed rule - unauthorized
use

	fyi,  the latest issue of the NMSS Licensee Newsletter
(NUREG/BR-0117 No. 
	97-2, June-July 1997 p.7) states

	"The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is withdrawing a proposed
rule 
	regarding the intentional unauthorized use of licenses
radioactive 
	material by individuals.  The proposed rule was published for
comment on 
	Jan 31, 1966 (61FR 3334).  Of the 86 letters received on this
rule, only 
	four commenters were in favor of the rule as proposed.  After
reviewing 
	these comments the Commission reconsidered the need for this
rule, and 
	concluded that the costs of implementing the proposed rule would
outweigh 
	the benefits."

	fyi, this would have added 20.2205 to 10 CFR.  Thanks to those
of you who 
	took the time and effort to make your input known to NRC.
