SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NSF’s 

Antarctic Waste Regulation, 45 CFR Part 

671, requires all U.S. citizens and 

entities to obtain a permit for the use or 

release of a designated pollutant in 

Antarctica, and for the release of waste 

in Antarctica. NSF has received a permit 

application under this Regulation for 

the operation of up to nine expeditions 

per year to Antarctica. During each trip, 

passengers are taken ashore at selected 

sites by Zodiac (rubber raft) or 

helicopter for approximately two to four 

hours at a time. On each zodiac or 

helicopter’s landing, emergency gear 

would be taken ashore in case weather 

deteriorates and passengers are required 

to camp on shore. Anything taken 

ashore will be removed from Antarctica 

and disposed of in Ushuaia, Argentina, 

Port Stanley, Falkland Islands, or a 

substitute port of disembarkation. No 

hazardous domestic products or wastes 

(aerosol cans, paints, solvents, etc.) will 

be brought ashore. Cooking stoves/fuel 

will be used only in an emergency 

where passengers are forced to spend 

the night on shore. Conditions of the 

permit would include requirements to 

report on the removal of materials and 

any accidental releases, and 

management of all waste, including 

human waste, in accordance with 

Antarctic waste regulations. 

Application for the permit is made by: 

Pat Shaw, President, Quark Expeditions, 

Inc., 47 Water Street, Norwalk, CT 

06854. 

Location: Antarctica (south of 60 

degrees south latitude). 

Dates: October 1, 2009 to March 31,

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. NRC–2009–0218] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

Review; Comment Request 

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC). 

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of 

information collection and solicitation 

of public comment. 

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently 

submitted to OMB for review the 

following proposal for the collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35). The NRC hereby 

informs potential respondents that an 

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 

that a person is not required to respond 

to, a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. The NRC published a Federal 

Register Notice with a 60-day comment 

period on this information collection on 

June 3, 2009. 

1. Type of submission, new, revision, 

or extension: Extension. 

2. The title of the information 

collection: Nuclear Material Events 

Database (NMED) for the Collection of 

Event Report, Response, Analyses, and 

Follow-up Data on Events Involving the 

Use of Atomic Energy Act (AEA) 

Radioactive Byproduct Material. 

3. Current OMB approval number: 

3150–0178. 

4. The form number if applicable: 

N/A. 

5. How often the collection is 

required: Agreement States are 

requested to provide copies of licensee 

material event reports electronically or 

by hard copy to NRC within 30 days of 

receipt from their licensee. In addition, 

Agreement States are requested to report 

events that may pose a significant health 

and safety hazard to the NRC 

Headquarters Operations Officer within 

the next working day of notification by 

an Agreement State licensee. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

report: Current Agreement States and 

any State receiving Agreement State 

status in the future. 

7. An estimate of the number of 

annual responses: 669. 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 35. 

9. An estimate of the total number of 

hours needed annually to complete the 

requirement or request: 689 hours for all 

existing Agreement State reporting. 

10. Abstract: NRC regulations require 

NRC licensees to report incidents and 

events involving the use, transportation 

and security of radioactive byproduct 

material, and source material, such as 

those involving radiation 

overexposures, leaking or contaminated 

sealed source(s), release of excessive 

contamination of radioactive material, 

lost or stolen radioactive material, 

equipment failures, abandoned well 

logging sources and medical events. 

Agreement State licenses are also 

required to report these events to their 

individual Agreement State regulatory 

authorities under compatible Agreement 

State regulations. NRC is requesting that 

the Agreement States provide 

information to NRC on the initial 

notification, response actions, and 

follow-up investigations on events 

involving the use (including suspected 

theft or terrorist activities) of nuclear 

materials regulated pursuant to the 

Atomic Energy Act. The event 

information should be provided in a 

uniform electronic format, for 

assessment and identification of any 

facilities/site specific or generic safety 

concerns that could have the potential 

to impact public health and safety. The 

identification and review of safety 

concerns may result in lessons learned, 

and may also identify generic issues for 

further study which could result in 

proposals for changes or revisions to 

technical or regulatory designs, 

processes, standards, guidance or 

requirements. 

A copy of the final supporting 

statement may be viewed free of charge 

at the NRC Public Document Room, One 

White Flint North, 11555 Rockville 

Pike, Room O–1 F21, Rockville, MD 

20852. OMB clearance requests are 

available at the NRC worldwide Web 

site: http://www.nrc.gov/public-involve/ 

doc-comment/omb/index.html. The 

document will be available on the NRC 

home page site for 60 days after the 

signature date of this notice. 

Comments and questions should be 

directed to the OMB reviewer listed 

below by October 13, 2009. Comments 

received after this date will be 

considered if it is practical to do so, but 

assurance of consideration cannot be 

given to comments received after this 

date. NRC Desk Officer, Office of
