Abstract: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) is amending its regulations related to the reporting of annual dose to workers, the definition of Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE), the labeling of certain containers holding licensed material, and the determination of cumulative occupational radiation dose. This final rule limits the routine reporting of annual doses to those workers whose annual dose exceeds a specific dose threshold or who request a report. This final rule also modifies the labeling requirements for certain containers holding licensed material within posted areas in nuclear power facilities. This final rule also amends the definition of TEDE to be consistent with current Commission policy. Finally, this rule removes the requirement that licensees attempt to obtain cumulative exposure records for workers unless these individuals are being authorized to receive a planned special exposure. These revisions reduce the administrative and information collection burdens on NRC and Agreement State licensees without affecting the level of protection for either the health and safety of workers and the public, or for the environment.

Short Statement: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is revising its regulations in 10 CFR Parts 19, 20, and 50, related to the reporting of annual dose to workers (10 CFR 19.13), the definition of the Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) (10 CFR 20.1003 and 50.2), the labeling of certain containers holding licensed material (10 CFR 20.1905), and the determination of cumulative occupational radiation dose (10 CFR 20.2104). The revisions to 10 Parts 19.13, 20.1905, and 20.2104 involve information collection requirements. The NRC Strategic Plan, Fiscal Year 2000–Fiscal Year 2005, included among NRC performance goals for nuclear reactor safety a performance goal for reducing unnecessary regulatory burden on stakeholders. The Strategic Plan defines unnecessary regulatory burden as requirements that go beyond what is necessary and sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that the public health and safety, environment, and common defense and security will be protected. The revisions to this final rule support this goal and are intended to reduce administrative and information collection burdens on licensees without affecting the level of protection for either the health and safety of workers and the public or for the environment.
