Abstract: NOTE: The current submission is a request for a new clearance number, to be discontinued once the burden and associated information collections can be transferred into 3150-0008, the clearance for information collections contained in 10 CFR Part 71. Information Collections contained in 10 CFR Part 71, the NRC, in consultation with the DOT, is proposing to amend its regulations for the packaging and transportation of radioactive material. The Commission has historically been consistent in its support of harmonizing the NRC transportation regulations with the IAEA’s standards. These amendments would make the NRC regulations conform to the recent revisions to the IAEA standards for the international transportation of radioactive material and maintain consistency with the DOT regulations. These changes are necessary to maintain a consistent regulatory framework for the packaging and transportation of radioactive material. The NRC is also proposing to amend these regulations to include administrative, editorial, or clarifying changes, including changes to certain Agreement State compatibility category designations.
