Nuclear Material Events
Database (NMED) for the Collection of Event Report, Response,
Analyses, and Follow-up Data on Events Involving the Use of Atomic
Energy Act Radioactive Byproduct Material
Extension without change of a currently approved collection
In accordance
with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is approved for three
years. However, as a term of clearance, the Agency is required to
calculate burden based on the anticipated burden for the three year
period approved by this ICR and not based on the actual burden of
the previous 3 years.

.NRC regulations require NRC licensees
to report incidents and overexposures, leaking or contaminated
sealed source(s), release of excessive contamination of radioactive
material, lost or stolen radioactive material, equipment failures,
abandoned well logging sources and medical events. Agreement State
licenses are also required to report these events to their
individual Agreement State regulatory authorities under compatible
Agreement State regulations. The NRC is requesting that the
Agreement States provide information to NRC on the initial
notification, response actions, and follow-up investigations on
events involving the use (including suspected theft or terrorist
activities) of nuclear materials regulated pursuant to the Atomic
Energy Act. The event information should be provided in a uniform
electronic format, for assessment and identification of any
facilities/site specific or generic safety concerns that could have
the potential to impact public health and safety. The
identification and review of safety concerns may result in lessons
learned, and may also identify generic issues for further study
which could result in proposals for changes or revisions to
technical or regulatory designs, processes, standards, guidance or
requirements.
The overall burden hours for
the Agreement States have increased by 58 hours from 746 to 804.
The number of estimated responses (reported events) has increased
from 471 to 506. The estimated number of reported events is based
on an annual average of the number of reported events, as reported
by the NMED contractor, for fiscal years 2012 through 2014. The NRC
staff expects to receive a similar number of reports annually
during the next clearance cycle. Costs have decreased due to a
decrease in the fee rate from $274/hr to $268/hr. Finally, it
should be noted that due to the slightly increased number of
events, the estimated hours and cost to the Federal government has
increased.
