    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Applicable.
    10. Abstract: The NRC is proposing to amend its regulations to 
implement a National Source Tracking System for certain sealed sources. 
The amendments would require licensees to report certain transactions 
involving nationally tracked sources to the National Source Tracking 
System. These transactions would include manufacture, transfer, 
receipt, disassembly, or disposal of the nationally tracked source. The 
amendment would require each licensee to provide its initial inventory 
of nationally tracked sources to the National Source Tracking System 
and annually reconcile the information in the system with the 
licensee's actual inventory. The rule would also require manufacturers 
of nationally tracked sources to assign a unique serial number to each 
source. This information collection is mandatory and will be used to 
populate the National Source Tracking System.
