Action
Final Rule; extension of compliance date.
Summary
RSPA is extending until October 1, 1999, the date for mandatory compliance with the Radiation Protection Program (RPP) requirements adopted in the final rule issued September 28, 1995. During this period, RSPA intends to consider in a separate rulemaking whether the RPP requirements should be withdrawn or revised because of the difficulties and complexities concerning implementation of and compliance with the RPP requirements. RSPA believes that compliance should not be required with requirements that may be withdrawn or substantially revised, and that overall safety in the transportation of radioactive materials will be advanced by reexamining the RPP requirements before requiring compliance with the current requirements.
