Abstract: PROPOSED RULE: Advance Tribal Notification of Category 1 Quantities of Radioactive Material Shipments The NRC recognizes Tribal sovereignty and Tribal governments’ interest in being informed of category 1 radioactive material shipments that would pass within or across reservations of participating federally recognized Tribes. The information collections related to the proposed rule would include licensee third-party disclosures for advance written notification to the Tribes of category 1 shipments, notification of revisions of shipments to the Tribes, cancellation notifications to Tribes, and recordkeeping including maintaining copies of the advance notifications, revisions, and cancellation notices. This proposed rule would enable federally recognized Tribes to opt into the NRC Tribal Advance Notification program under 10 CFR part 37 to receive notifications of shipments of category 1 quantities of radioactive material that pass within or across their reservation under 10 CFR part 37, along with notifications of certain shipments of nuclear waste and shipments of irradiated reactor fuel under 10 CFR parts 71 and 73. Federally recognized Indian Tribes would affirmatively opt-in to receive the notifications by providing certain information to the NRC. The NRC would use the collected information to implement the advance notification program, which includes the following purposes: first, information would be collected and made available to licensees to enable licensees to comply with NRC and Agreement State regulations. Second, information would be collected to facilitate correspondence to the Tribal official, Tribal official’s designated representative, or the Tribe’s emergency response contact on matters related to transportation of shipments of certain types of radioactive material or the implementation of the advance notification program.

Short Statement: The proposed rule would increase the burden for this information collection from 34 hours to 51 hours, an increase of 17 hours. This proposed rule would expand advance notifications to federally recognized Tribes of certain radioactive material shipments to include Part 37 shipments of category 1 quantities of radioactive materials. The NRC staff anticipates 2 additional Tribes to opt-in to the Tribal Advance Notification program annually. The information provided is the minimum necessary to satisfy the Commission’s policy decisions on the information needed for federally recognized Indian Tribes to opt-in to receive advance notice of certain shipments of radioactive material and for the NRC to have confidence that the SGI would be adequately protected.
