The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) amended its regulations to include jurisdiction over discrete
sources of radium-226, accelerator-produced radioactive materials,
and discrete sources of naturally occurring radioactive material,
as required by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), which was
signed into law on August 8, 2005. This provides a regulatory
framework by which to license and regulate byproduct material in
accordance with the new, expanded definition. The amended
regulations impacted numerous existing information collections. The
NRC packaged all of the impacted information collections into one
new information collection which OMB approved and assigned control
number 3150-0203. One of the areas of existing Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) regulations revised was Part 32.
In August of 2007, The Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) amended its regulations to include
jurisdiction over discrete sources of radium-226,
accelerator-produced radioactive materials, and discrete sources of
naturally occurring radioactive material, as required by the Energy
Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), which was signed into law on August 8,
2005. This provided a regulatory framework by which to license and
regulate byproduct material in accordance with the new, expanded
definition. The amended regulations impacted numerous existing NRC
information collections. The NRC packaged all the impacted
information collections under the amended regulations and submitted
it to OMB as a new information collection, which OMB approved and
assigned control number 3150-0203. NRC is submitting his no
material or nonsubstantive change to a currently approved
collection to move the approved information collection covered
under part 32 in this collection to the NRC existing approved
collection for Part 32, 3150-0001.
