Abstract: RadNet is a national
network of stations collecting
environmental media that include air,
precipitation, and drinking water.
Samples are sent to EPA’s National
Analytical Radiation Environmental Lab
(NAREL) in Montgomery, Alabama,
where they are analyzed for
radioactivity. RadNet provides
emergency response/homeland security
and ambient monitoring information on
levels of environmental radiation across
the nation. All station operators
participate in RadNet voluntarily.
Station operators complete information
forms that accompany the samples. The
forms request information pertaining to
sample type, sample location, start and
stop date and times for sampling, length
of sampling period, and volume
represented. Data from RadNet are made
available regularly on the Agency
websites—Envirofacts and the EPA
website www.epa.gov/radnet.
Form numbers: RadNet Air Particulate
Sample (EPA Form 5900–24); RadNet
Precipitation Report Form (EPA Form
5900–27); RadNet Drinking Water
Report Form (EPA Form 5900–29); and
RadNet Supply Request Form (EPA
Form 5900–23).
Respondents/affected entities:
Primarily Tribal and Local Officials.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Voluntary.
Estimated number of respondents:
213.
Frequency of response: Varies
depending upon sample media type.
Responses vary from twice weekly to
quarterly.

Total estimated burden: 3,640 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $2,622,124 (per
year), includes annualized capital costs,
operational costs, and maintenance
costs.
Changes in estimates: There is a 2.2
percent reduction in burden from 3,722
hours annually. While the RadNet
network is fully established and
operating with essentially no changes
expected, 30% of the drinking water
sampling locations have not responded
since the beginning of the COVID–19
pandemic. There is a 4.5 percent
increase in costs due to increases in
Federal and contractor salaries and cost
of goods and supplies.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
