Abstract:
"REVISIONS TO TRANSPORTATION SAFETY REQUIREMENTS AND HARMONIZATION WITH INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS" FINAL RULE The NRC in consultation with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), is amending its regulations for the packaging and transportation of radioactive material. These amendments make conforming changes to NRC regulations based on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) regulations for the international transportation of radioactive material and maintain consistency with DOT regulations. In addition, the NRC is also revising 10 CFR part 71 to: 1) update administrative procedures for the quality assurance program requirements described in 10 CFR part 71, subpart H; 2) re-establish restrictions on material that qualifies for the fissile material exemption; 3) clarify the requirements for a general license; 4) clarify the responsibilities of certificate holders and licensees when making preliminary determinations; and 5) make other editorial changes.

Short Statement:
The currently approved burden for Part 71 is 59,782 hours and 912 responses. The final rule will change this to 58,082 hours and 943 responses, a reduction of 1,700 hours and an increase of 31 responses. The proposed reduction is a result of changes to that would streamline aspects of its oversight of transportation-related activities. The NRC is proposing to make the following changes, which would reduce burden: • Allow certain changes to approved QA programs to be made without prior approval. This results in a burden reduction of 500hours. However, the NRC would still require the periodic reporting of all changes to ensure that the NRC has current information for its oversight activities. • Issue QA Program Approvals that would not need to be renewed. The relatively infrequent changes and the proposed additional reporting requirements would remove the need for the periodic renewals. This reduces burden by 1,600 hours annually. The NRC is proposing to make the following changes that will increase burden by a total of 400 hours: • Require reporting of changes in QA programs every 24 months. This results in an increase of 125 hours. • Require reporting of QA program changes that reduce commitments. This results in an increase of 150 hours. • Require retention of additional QA program change records, which results in an increase of 62.5 hours. • Licensees would be required to determine that the preliminary determinations ─ which would now be made by certificate holders ─ have been made, which results in an increase of 62.5 hours.
