Continued Time Burden for Licensees and Applicants
The renewal applies to all NRC-specific licensees who place byproduct, source, or special nuclear material into transportation and to anyone applying for NRC package design approval. The NRC estimates 225 annual respondents, 612 annual responses, and a total annual burden of 30,739 hours (26,033 hours reporting, 4,575 hours recordkeeping, and 131 hours third-party disclosure).
Paperwork Keeps Radioactive Shipments Regulated
The NRC is renewing its existing information collection under 10 CFR part 71 that covers packaging, preparation for shipment, and transportation of licensed radioactive material. This renewal keeps rules for package approval, incident reporting, and NRC-approved quality assurance programs in place so companies that ship byproduct, source, or special nuclear material must continue to provide required applications and reports.
