Administrative Licensing Procedures Clause Samples

Administrative Licensing Procedures. The routine operation of the program requires administrative processing of licenses beyond the technical evaluations. Written procedures describing the administrative processing steps are useful to assure that all procedural requirements are completed. They may become critical if there is an unexpected turnover of senior staff. On the effective date of the Agreement, the NRC transfers to the State those NRC licenses that the State will regulate under the authority of its Agreement. The NRC and the State must make appropriate arrangements so that there will be no interference with or interruption of licensed activities or the processing of license applications because of the transfer. Licensees must be able to continue their licensed activities without interruption upon transfer of the license on the effective date of the Agreement. The licensee will continue under the State regulatory framework at this point. The NRC is committed to transferring complete license files that the State can use in issuing its own license to licensees. The State can recognize the transferred NRC licenses, including licenses under timely renewal, as State licenses. Those licenses then continue in effect until they are replaced by licenses issued by the State. The State may propose an alternative to transferring licenses, if desired.
