II. Background

    On December 4, 2007 (72 FR 68043), NRC published a Federal Register 
Notice regarding changes to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(10 CFR) parts 19, 20 and 50. Specific changes to 10 CFR part 20 
included a definition change to the total effective dose equivalent 
(TEDE), which allowed NRC licensees to use the effective dose 
equivalent (for external exposures) in place of the deep dose 
equivalent in determining the TEDE value. Section 20.2206(a) specifies 
seven categories of licensees that are required to report occupational 
radiation dose information to the NRC annually and Section 20.2206(b) 
allows licensees to submit this information in paper format on NRC Form 
5, ``Occupational Dose Record for a Monitoring Period,'' or in an 
equivalent paper or electronic format. The change to 10 CFR parts 19, 
20 and 50 became effective on February 15, 2008. The current NRC Form 5 
can be found on NRC's Public Web page, https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/forms/nrc5.pdf.

III. Discussion

    The NRC staff believes that the current NRC Form 5 should be 
modified to align with the existing TEDE definition in 10 CFR part 20. 
To ensure that the NRC is well informed of all of the benefits and 
burdens associated with revising the current NRC Form 5, the NRC is 
seeking input from stakeholders regarding the proposed draft NRC Form 
5. Specifically, the NRC- and Agreement State-licensees who are 
required to comply with Section 20.2206(b) or compatible State 
regulations should submit comments regarding (1) the layout of the 
proposed draft NRC Form 5, (2) estimated economic costs associated with 
modifying existing information technology (IT) systems to include the 
new ``Effective Dose Equivalent for External Exposures (EDEX)'' field, 
(3) estimated economic savings associated with calculating EDEX for 
certain occupational employees, and (4) the clarity of the instructions 
provided for completing the proposed draft NRC Form 5, specifically 
concerning the use of EDEX and the new directions for blocks 11a and 
11b. Stakeholders and interested parties also may provide other options 
for the current NRC Form 5, issues with the current NRC Form 5, or 
other information for NRC's consideration associated with the current 
NRC Form 5. The NRC staff will use this feedback in developing a new 
NRC Form 5 and a new NRC Form 4, ``Cumulative Occupational Dose 
History.''
