Agencies and Commissions April 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations to expand the current National Source Tracking System (NSTS) to include certain additional sealed sources. The proposed amendments would require licensees to report certain transactions involving these sealed sources to the NSTS. These transactions would include the manufacture, transfer, receipt, disassembly, or disposal of the nationally tracked source. The proposed amendment would also require each licensee to provide its initial inventory of nationally tracked sources to the NSTS and annually verify and reconcile the information in the system with the licensee's actual inventory.

This notice is announcing that on March 10, 2008, Dr. Dale E. Klein, Chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and on March 26, 2008, Governor Edward G. Rendell of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania signed an Agreement as authorized by Section 274b. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act).

Under the Agreement, a person in Pennsylvania possessing these materials is exempt from certain Commission regulations. The exemptions have been previously published in the Federal Register and are codified in the Commission's regulations as 10 CFR Part 150. Approximately 650 licenses have been transferred to Pennsylvania's jurisdiction. This Agreement became effective on March 31, 2008, and is published here as required by Section 274e. of the Act.
