Abstract: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations to expand the current National Source Tracking System (NSTS) to include certain additional sealed sources. The proposed amendments would require licensees to report certain transactions involving these sealed sources to the NSTS. These transactions would include the manufacture, transfer, receipt, disassembly, or disposal of the nationally tracked source. The proposed amendment would also require each licensee to provide its initial inventory of nationally tracked sources to the NSTS and annually verify and reconcile the information in the system with the licensee’s actual inventory.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This rule is expected to increase the burden by 16,821 hours (4,082.5 hours Part 20 reporting + 2,472.5 hours NRC Form 748 reporting + 9,666 hours Part 20 recordkeeping + 600 hours Part 32 recordkeeping). The total responses are estimated to be 20,912 (4,665 for Part 20 reporting 15,081 for NRC Form 748 reporting + 1,166 recordkeepers). The increased burden is a result of the expansion of the definition, “nationally tracked source” to include Category 3 and 1/10th of the Category 3 sources. Approximately 3,500 NRC and Agreement State licensees will be affected. The information is needed to improve the accountability and control of the nationally tracked sources. The NRC is proposing to amend its regulations to expand the current National Source Tracking System (NSTS) to include certain additional sealed sources. The proposed amendments would require licensees to report certain transactions involving these sealed sources to the NSTS. These transactions would include the manufacture, transfer, receipt, disassembly, or disposal of the nationally tracked source. The proposed amendment would also require each licensee to provide its initial inventory of nationally tracked sources to the NSTS and annually verify and reconcile the information in the system with the licensee’s actual inventory.
