practicality of the collection can be 

evaluated, but the details of the specific 

individual collections will not be 

known until a later time. The 

Agreement States and non-Agreement 

States will be asked on a one-time or as 

needed basis to respond to a specific 

incident, to gather information on 

licensing and inspection practices or 

other technical information, or to 

provide comments on proposed policy 

and program updates. The results of 

such information requests, which are 

authorized under section 274(b) of the 

Atomic Energy Act, will be utilized in 

part by the NRC in preparing responses 

to Congressional inquiries. In addition, 

the information can assist the 

Commission in its considerations and 

decisions involving Atomic Energy Act 

materials programs in an effort to make 

the national nuclear materials program 

more uniform and consistent.

1United States Postal Service’s Request for an 

Advisory Opinion on Changes in the Nature of 

Postal Services, October 4, 2024 (Request). The 

Postal Service filed the instant Request at the 

direction of the Commission, following the Postal 

Service’s initial presentation of these proposed 

changes as part of the changes associated with the 

Delivering for America Plan. See Docket No. 

PI2023–4, Order Directing Postal Service to Show 

Cause or File a Nature of Service Proceeding 

Regarding Certain Delivering for America 

Initiatives, April 26, 2024 (Order No. 7061). 

reservation boundaries, and (4) when 

there are changes. Information is 

requested from those Indian Tribes 

seeking to receive advance notifications. 

Some information is requested one time. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

respond: Federally recognized Indian 

Tribes. Only those Federally recognized 

Indian Tribes with reservations and 

either receiving or seeking to receive the 

advance notifications would be asked to 

respond to the specific information 

request. 

7. The estimated number of annual 

responses: 20 (7 reporting responses + 

13 recordkeepers). 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 13. 

9. The estimated number of hours 

needed annually to comply with the 

information collection requirement or 

request: 37.5 hours (21 reporting + 16.5 

recordkeeping). 

10. Abstract: In order to receive 

notification of certain shipments of 

irradiated reactor fuel and/or nuclear 

waste within or across the boundary of 

an Indian Tribe’s reservation, Tribes 

shall affirmatively opt into the advance 

notification program. Because the 

notification may contain Safeguards 

Information (SGI), the Tribal official 

will submit certification that the Tribal 

official or their designee(s) has 

completed NRC-provided training on 

the handling of SGI and has the 

necessary protection measures in place 

for implementation. The Tribal official 

will provide contact information for the 

designee(s) and emergency response 

contact(s). The Tribal official will also 

provide confirmation of the reservation 

boundaries or the necessary corrections 

to a map provided by the NRC. The NRC 

makes this information available to 

others, including NRC and Agreement 

State licensees. NRC licensees will use 

the information to comply with the 

NRC’s regulations that require them to 

provide advance notice of certain 

shipments of radioactive material to 

participating Tribes. Agreement State 

licensees may use the information to 

comply with the compatible Agreement 

State regulations. 

III. Specific Requests for Comments 

The NRC is seeking comments that 

address the following questions: 

1. Is the proposed collection of 

information necessary for the NRC to 

properly perform its functions? Does the 

information have practical utility? 

Please explain your answer. 

2. Is the estimate of the burden of the 

information collection accurate? Please 

explain your answer. 

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?

V. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

On October 4, 2024, the Postal Service 

filed a request for an advisory opinion 

from the Commission regarding planned 

changes to its processing and 

transportation networks.1 In particular, 

the Postal Service plans to create a 

nationwide network of Regional 

Processing and Distribution Centers 

(RPDCs) and Local Processing Centers 

(LPCs). Id. at 3. The Postal Service states 

that this initiative will ‘‘increase 

throughput, gain productivity, and 

increase asset utilization across the 

country.’’ Id. Additionally, the Postal 

Service intends to implement its 

Regional Transportation Optimization 

(RTO) initiative on a nationwide basis. 

Id. The Postal Service states that the 

RTO initiative will ‘‘improve the 

efficiency and velocity of the processing 

network.’’ Id. The Postal Service 

estimates that these two initiatives will 

allow it ‘‘to achieve estimated cost 

savings of between $3.6 billion and $3.7 

billion on an annual basis once fully 

implemented.’’ Id. 

The Postal Service also proposes to 

revise its service standards ‘‘to align 

with these operational initiatives. . . .’’ 

Id. Specifically, the Postal Service will
