II. Background
Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled,
``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 Material.'' The NRC hereby informs
potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and
that a person is not required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on April 28, 2025, 90 FR 17627.
1. The title of the information collection: 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 Material.
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0178.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: Agreement
States are requested to provide copies of licensee nuclear material
event reports electronically or by hard copy to the NRC within 30 days
of receipt from
[[Page 39430]]
their licensee. In addition, Agreement States are requested to report
events that may pose a significant health and safety hazard to the NRC
Headquarters Operations Officer within 24 hours of notification by an
Agreement State licensee.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Current Agreement
States and any State receiving Agreement State status in the future.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 450.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 41.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 720 hours (360 reporting
and 360 recordkeeping).
10. Abstract: 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.
