Agency: Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Agencies and Commissions
The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension. 2. The title of the information collection: Requests to Non- Agreement States for Information. 3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable. 4. How often the collection is required: 6 times per year. 5. Who will be required or asked to report: The 18 States (16 Non- Agreement States and 2 territories, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) that have not signed 274(b) Agreements with NRC. Note: Minnesota became an Agreement State effective March 31, 2006. 6. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 108. 7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 18 States (16 Non- Agreement States and 2 territories, the District of Columbia and Commonwealth of Puerto Rico). 8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 891 hours. 9. An indication of whether section 3507(d), Public Law 104-13 applies: Not applicable. 10. Abstract: Requests may be made of States that are similar to those of Agreement States to provide a more complete overview of the national program for regulating radioactive materials. This information would be used in the decisionmaking of the Commission. With Agreement States and as part of the NRC cooperative post-agreement program with the States pursuant to section 274(b), information on licensing and inspection practices, and/or incidents, and other technical and statistical information are exchanged. Agreement State comments are also solicited in the areas of proposed implementing procedures relative to NRC Agreement State program policies. With the enactment of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, specifically section 651(e), NRC now has regulatory authority over use of accelerator-produced radioactive materials and discrete sources of radium-226 and other naturally occurring radioactive material as specified by the Commission. Therefore, information requests sought may take the form of surveys, e.g., telephonic and electronic surveys/polls and facsimiles.

List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: FuelSolutionsTM
Document Number: E6-5705
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2006-04-18
Agency: Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Agencies and Commissions
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations revising the BNG Fuel Solutions Corporation (FuelSolutions\TM\) cask system listing within the ``List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks'' to include Amendment No. 4 to the Certificate of Compliance. Amendment No. 4 would revise Technical Specification (TS) requirements related to periodic monitoring during storage operations. Specifically, the amendment would revise the TS to permit longer surveillance intervals for casks with heat loads lower than the design basis heat load and permit visual inspection of the cask vent screens or measurement of the cask liner temperature to satisfy the periodic monitoring requirements that govern general design criteria for spent fuel storage casks. TS 3.3.1 would be deleted to remove daily monitoring requirements. TS 3.3.2 would be revised for the W21 and W74 canisters to permit either visual inspection of vent screens or liner thermocouple temperature monitoring. Also, TS 5.3.8 would add a section to the Periodic Monitoring Program which establishes intervals for periodic monitoring that are less than the time required to reach the limiting short-term temperature limit. This program would establish administrative controls and procedures to assure that the licensee will be able to determine when corrective action is required. In addition, the amendment would update editorial changes associated with the company name change from BNFL Fuel Solutions Corporation to BNG Fuel Solutions Corporation and make other administrative changes.
