NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Documents Containing Reporting or Recordkeeping Requirements: 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and 
solicitation of public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following 
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: Proposed rule, 
Compatibility with IAEA Transportation Safety Standards (TS-R-1) and 
Other Transportation Safety Amendments (10 CFR part 71).
    3. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    4. How often the collection is required: Biennial and on occasion.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: NRC licensees, 
Certificate of Compliance (CoC) holders, and applicants for a CoC.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 83 (A total of 37 
responses [8 for CoC holders and applicants and 29 annualized one-time 
responses from licensees] plus 46 recordkeepers).
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 75 (46 CoC holders 
and applicants and an annualized 29 one-time licensee respondents).
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 1,505 hours (676 hours for 
reporting and 829 hours for recordkeeping).
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Applicable.
    10. Abstract: The proposed rule amends NRC regulations on packaging 
and transporting radioactive material to be compatible with the 
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) standards and to codify other 
applicable requirements. The proposed rule would add CoC holders and 
applicants to the list of regulated entities subject to mandatory 
requirements such as quality assurance program and reporting. A new 
subpart I, Type B(DP) Package Approval, is being created to achieve a 
parallel regulatory structure with part 72 regulations and to provide 
an alternative approach for approving Type B(DP) dual purpose packages 
used for storage and transport of spent fuels. If used, subpart I will 
reduce burden, improve effectiveness and efficiency, and ensure 
consistency between parts 71 and 72 requirements.
    Submit, by May 6, 2002, comments that address the following 
questions:
    1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC 
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical 
utility?
    2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected?
    4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized, 
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology?

Public Document Room, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Room
