NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. NRC–2009–0218] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC). 

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to 

submit an information collection 

request to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) and solicitation of public 

comment. 

SUMMARY: The NRC invites public 

comment about our intention to request 

the OMB’s approval for renewal of an 

existing information collection that is 

summarized below. We are required to 

publish this notice in the Federal 

Register under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35). 

Information pertaining to the 

requirement to be submitted: 

1. 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. 

2. Current OMB approval number: 

3150–0178. 

3. 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 on a monthly basis 

or 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. 

4. Who is required or asked to report: 

Current Agreement States and any State 

receiving Agreement State status in the 

future. 

5. The number of annual respondents: 

35. 

6. The number of hours needed 

annually to complete the requirement or 

request: 689 hours for all existing 

Agreement State reporting. 

7. 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. 

Submit, by August 3, 2009, 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? 

2. Is the burden estimate 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 be minimized, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology?
