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 24 hours of 

notification by an Agreement State 

licensee. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

respond: Current Agreement States and 

any State receiving Agreement State

45696 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 175 / Monday, September 10, 2018 / Notices 

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 

AEA. 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

proposals for changes or revisions to 

technical or regulatory designs, 

processes, standards, guidance or 

requirements. 

III. Specific Requests for Comments

2. Is the estimate of the burden of the 

information collection accurate? 

3. Is there a way to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected? 

4. How can the burden of the 

information collection on respondents 

be minimized, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology?
