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 has increased to 723. The number of estimated responses (reported events) has increased to 452. 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 2018 through 2020. The NRC staff expects events per year to return to pre COVID levels within the next 3-year period but has no certainty on the exact timeframe for that. As a result, the NRC is using a conservative estimate of the same number of events per year as estimated during the previous as 3-year period, and which is consistent with the number of events per year received prior to the start of COVID (450 events/year). The addition of the State of Connecticut will add a small number of events per year (2 events/year) to this estimate, resulting in a total estimate of 452 events/year. Costs have increased due to an increase in the fee rate from $263/hr to $288
