NRC Form 5 is used to record and
report the results of individual monitoring for occupational
radiation exposure during a one-year (calendar year) period to
ensure regulatory compliance with annual radiation dose
limits.
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. The clearance affecting this
83-C is NRC Form 5, Occupational Exposure Record for a Monitoring
Period, which is currently covered under OMB Clearance 3150-0006.
This form is used by licensees to record the occupational exposure
of each individual monitored for radiation exposure at the licensed
facility. The purpose of this 83-C is to transfer burden from OMB
Clearance 3150-0203, 10 CFR Parts 20, 30, 31, 32, & 35,
Requirements for Expanded Definition of Byproduct Material, Final
Rule and NRC Forms 4, 5, 313, 314, & 664, to OMB Clearance
3150-0006, Occupational Exposure Record for a Monitoring Period,
which was contained in the final approved on 8/23/07. NRC Form 5 is
used by licensees to record the occupational exposure of each
individual monitored for radiation exposure at the licensed
facility. Once the entire burden for 3150-0203 has been transferred
to the correct clearances, we will submit an 83-D to discontinue
3150-0203. A total of 1,031 hours will be transferred to 3150-0006,
resulting in a revised total burden of 66,649 hours.
