Abstract:
10 CFR Parts 30, 40, 70, 170, and 171, Distribution of Source Material to Exempt Persons and to General Licensees and Revision of General License and Exemptions, Proposed Rule The NRC is proposing to amend its regulations in 10 CFR Part 40 to establish new requirements for distributors of source material to persons exempt from the regulations or for use under a general license in § 40.22. In addition, the Commission is also proposing to modify the existing possession and use requirements for § 40.22 general licensees to align the requirements with current health and safety standards. Finally, the Commission is proposing to revise, clarify, or delete certain exemptions in § 40.13(c) to make the exemptions more risk informed. Conforming changes would be made to 10 CFR Parts 30, 70, 170 and 171. These changes would affect manufacturers and distributors of products and materials containing source material and future users of some products used under exemptions from licensing and under the § 40.22 general license. Information collections would result from new requirements for certain persons initially distributing source material to obtain a specific license. These new specific licensees would be required to provide reports regarding their initial distributions of source material to the NRC and the Agreement States on an annual basis and maintain records of such reports, as well as meet existing information collection requirements in 10 CFR Parts 19 and 20. In addition, labeling requirements and notifications to recipients would be required for certain initial distributions of source material. Proposed revisions to the general license provisions in § 40.22 would specifically require the general licensee to respond to NRC requests for information in a timely manner and notify the NRC when ceasing activities if significant contamination is identified. NOTE: This proposed rule affects information collections in Parts 19, 20, and 40 as well as NRC Form 313/313A series of forms. Information collections for Parts 19 and 40 have both been entered in ROCIS under Part 40 because Part 19 will soon be undergoing OMB review for renewal (expiration date of 11/30/10). Information collections for Part 20 and NRC Form 313 have been entered into ROCIS under their appropriate clearance numbers.

Short Statement:
Currently, Part 40 does not include any requirement to report information about source material being distributed for use under the general license in Section 40.22 or under any exemption from licensing in Section 40.13. Because the NRC does not require the reporting of products and materials distributed for use under the general license or exemptions, the NRC cannot readily determine if the source material is being maintained in accordance with the regulatory requirements for those uses, or how or in what quantities the source material is being used. As a result, the NRC cannot fully assess the resultant risks to public health and safety. Because of the difficulty of collecting such information and its limited reliability, the NRC has concluded that new reporting requirements on the distribution of source material to Section 40.22 general licensees and persons exempt from licensing would significantly increase the NRCs ability to evaluate impacts and more efficiently and effectively protect public health and safety from the use of source material. The changes to this IC include the addition of 38 new respondents to 40.22(b)(4). Licensees subject to other new requirements for this proposed rule are already subject to reporting under Part 40. The proposed rule will result in a 121.4 hour increase in reporting under Part 40 and a 240 hour increase in recordkeeping. Part 19 will be up for review by OMB this fall as part of the regular renewal cycle To prevent the submission of this proposed rule from affecting the timely submission of the Part 19 renewal, hours associated with Part 19 in this proposed rule have been entered under Part 40. Hours for Part 19 include 1 new reporting respondent and an addition of 18 hours for reporting and 27.3 hours for recordkeeping.
