Abstract:
NRC regulations require NRC licensees to report incidents and over exposures, 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. The 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.

Short Statement:
The overall burden hours for the Agreement States have decreased by 84 hours from 804 to 720. The number of estimated responses (reported events) has decreased from 506 to 450. The estimated number of reported events is based on an annual average of the number of reported events, as reported by the NMED contractor, for fiscal years 2015 through 2017. The NRC staff expects to receive a similar number of reports annually during the next clearance cycle. Costs have decreased due to a decrease in the fee rate from $268/hr to $263/hr.
