II. Background
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to
request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized
below.
1. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 748, National
Source Tracking Transaction Report.
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0202.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 748.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion
(at completion of a transaction, and at inventory reconciliation).
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Licensees that
manufacture, receive, transfer, disassemble, or dispose of nationally
tracked sources.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 18,927 (13,200 online
+ 480 batch upload + 5,247 NRC Form 748).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 1,400 (260 NRC
Licensees + 1,140 Agreement State Licensees).
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 1,963.1.
10. Abstract: In 2006, the NRC amended its regulations to implement
a National Source Tracking System (NSTS) for certain sealed sources.
The amendments require licensees to report certain transactions
involving nationally tracked sources to the NSTS. These transactions
include manufacture, transfer, receipt, disassembly, or disposal of the
nationally tracked source. This information collection is mandatory and
is used to populate the NSTS. National source tracking is part of a
comprehensive radioactive source control program for radioactive
materials of greatest concern. The NRC and Agreement States uses the
information provided by licensees in the NSTS to track the life cycle
of the nationally tracked source from manufacture through shipment
receipt, decay, and burial. NSTS enhances the ability of NRC and
Agreement States to conduct inspections and investigations, communicate
information to other government agencies, and verify legitimate
ownership and use of nationally tracked sources.
III. Specific Requests for Comments
The NRC is seeking 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 estimate of the burden of the information collection
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 on respondents
be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology?
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day of July, 2018.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
