ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and solicitation of public comment. The NRC invites public comment about our intention to request the OMB’s approval for renewal of an existing information collection that is summarized below.

Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted: 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 (AEA) Radioactive Byproduct Material. 2. Current OMB approval number: 3150–0178. 3. How often the collection is required: Agreement States are requested to provide copies of licensee material event reports electronically or by hard copy to NRC on a monthly basis or within 30 days of receipt from 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 the next working day of notification by an Agreement State licensee. 4.

The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 689 hours for all existing Agreement State reporting. 7. Abstract: NRC regulations require NRC licensees to report incidents and events involving the use, transportation and security of radioactive byproduct material, and source material, such as those involving radiation 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. 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. Submit, by August 3, 2009, comments that address the following questions: 1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical utility? 2. Is the burden estimate accurate? 3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected? 4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology?

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing a revision 
to an existing guide in the agency's ``Regulatory Guide'' series. This 
series was developed to describe and make available to the public 
information such as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for 
implementing specific

[[Page 26738]]

parts of the agency's regulations, techniques that the staff uses in 
evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data that the 
staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses.
    Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 3.52, ``Standard Format and Content 
for the Health and Safety Sections of License Renewal Applications for 
Uranium Processing and Fuel Fabrication,'' was issued with a temporary 
identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG-3031. This guide directs 
the reader to the type of information acceptable to the NRC in its 
evaluation and verification of the safety basis for the licensing of 
special nuclear material (SNM). It references the application of NUREG-
1520, ``Standard Review Plan for the Review of a License Application 
for a Fuel Cycle Facility,'' issued March 2002, to the format and 
content of license renewal applications for fuel cycle facilities.
    The regulatory framework that the NRC has established for 
procedures and criteria for the licensing of SNM is set forth in Title 
10, Part 70, ``Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material,'' of the 
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR part 70). In 10 CFR 70.73, 
``Renewal of Licenses,'' the regulations specify that applications for 
license renewal (including licenses for enriched uranium processing, 
fuel fabrication, uranium enrichment, enriched uranium hexafluoride 
conversion, plutonium processing, fabrication of mixed-oxide fuel, and 
scrap recovery of SNM) must be filed in accordance with 10 CFR 2.109, 
``Effect of Timely Renewal Application;'' 10 CFR 70.21, ``Filing;'' 10 
CFR 70.22, ``Contents of Applications;'' 10 CFR 70.33, ``Renewal of 
Licenses;'' 10 CFR 70.38, ``Expiration and Termination of Licenses and 
Decommissioning of Sites and Separate Buildings or Outdoor Areas;'' and 
10 CFR 70.65, ``Additional Content of Applications.''

II. Further Information

    In September 2008, DG-3031 was published with a public comment 
period of 60 days from the issuance of the guide. The public comment 
period closed on November 10, 2008. The staff's responses to the 
comments received are located in NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and 
Management System (ADAMS) under accession number ML091050072. 
Electronic copies of Regulatory Guide 3.52, Revision 2 are available 
through the NRC's public Web site under ``Regulatory Guides'' at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/.
    In addition, regulatory guides are available for inspection at the 
NRC's Public Document Room (PDR) located at Room O-1F21, One White 
Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852-2738. The 
PDR's mailing address is USNRC PDR, Washington, DC 20555-0001. The PDR 
can also be reached by telephone at (301) 415-4737 or (800) 397-4209, 
by fax at (301) 415-3548, and by e-mail to pdr.resource@nrc.gov.
    Regulatory guides are not copyrighted, and NRC approval is not 
required to reproduce them.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day of May, 2009.
