Draft Technical Guidance--Substantive Revision

Description: This guidance, which became effective on March 15, 1994, establishes standard procedures for encouraging compliance with, and enforcing the regulations, which the Bureau of Radiation Protection (Bureau) has the authority to administer.

On April 6, 2004, the Secretary of the Department announced the Department's new policy on ''Standards and Guidelines for Identifying, Tracking and Resolving Violations.'' This draft guidance incorporates the guidelines under that policy as substantive revisions to provide program staff with direction on how to implement the recently issued guidelines.
