Title: Expansion of the National Source Tracking System [NRC-2008-0200] 
Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission’s regulations to expand the current National Source Tracking System (NSTS) to include certain additional sealed sources at International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Category 3 threshold values. The proposed amendments would require licensees to report certain transactions involving these sealed sources to the NSTS. These transactions would include the manufacture, transfer, receipt, disassembly, or disposal of the nationally tracked source. The proposed amendment would also require each licensee to provide its initial inventory of nationally tracked sources to the NSTS and annually verify and reconcile the information in the system with the licensee's actual inventory. In a Staff Requirements Memorandum dated June 30, 2009, the Commission was unable to reach a decision on the staff’s recommendation to publish the final rule and, therefore, the recommendation was not approved.
