AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

SUMMARY: On September 16, 1998, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) announced the availability of and requested comment on draft NUREG- 1556, Volume 11, ``Consolidated Guidance about Materials Licenses: Program-Specific Guidance about Licenses of Broad Scope,'' dated August 1998 (63 FR 49615). The comment period for NUREG-1556, Volume 11, expired on December 7, 1998.
