Abstract: Requests may be made of Non-Agreement States that are similar to those of Agreement States to provide a more complete overview of the national program for regulating radioactive materials. This information would be used in the decision-making of the Commission. With Agreement States and as part of the NRC cooperative post-agreement program with the States pursuant to Section 274(b), information on licensing and inspection practices, and/or incidents, and other technical and statistical information are exchanged. Agreement State comments are also solicited in the areas of proposed implementing procedures relative to NRC Agreement State program policies. With the enactment of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, specifically Section 651(e), NRC now has regulatory authority over use of accelerator-produced radioactive materials and discrete sources of radium-226 and other naturally occurring radioactive material as specified by the Commission.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The estimated burden has increased by 271 hours from 891 to 1162 hours because NRCs initial estimate from the issuing of 6 voluntary request annually to 18 Non-Agreement States in the last clearance package, to 8 request annually to 16 States (14 Non-Agreement States and 2 territories, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico). Therefore, the number of responses increased by 20 from 108 to 128 since the last clearance renewal. NRC continues to have regulatory authority over the use of accelerator-produced radioactive materials and discrete sources of radium-226 and other naturally occurring radioactive material as specified by the Commission. NRCs need for information from the Non-Agreement States' naturally occurring and accelerator produced radioactive materials (NARM) programs pertains, for example, to comments on draft rules, guidance, and program elements. Although the number of respondents decreased to 16, since the initial OMB clearance, Pennsylvania and Virginia became Agreement States.
