I 0FFICIAL RECORD COPY SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR PROPOSED RULES 10 CFR 20.403, 30.50, 40.60 and 70.50 NOTIFICATIONS OF INCIDENTS Description Of The Information Collection The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is proposing to amend its regulations to revise licensee reporting requirements for material licensees regarding the Notifications of Nonreactor Incidents relating to radiation safety. This action is needed to ensure that significant occurrences are promptly reported so that NRC can evaluate whether innediate action is required to protect the public health and safety. The proposed amendment to 10 CFR 20.403, would delete the requirenent for licensees to notify (the NRC of an incident under circumstances specified in the revised 20.403 (a) 3), (a)(4), (b)(3), and (b)(4).
In addition, new requirements for material licensees are being provided in 10 CFR 30.50, 40.60 and 70.50.
These new requirements specify the type of 1
incidents that material licensees are required to report and when +,ey are to be reported.
A. JUSTIFICATION Need For The Collection Of Information NRC currently requires licensees to notify the agency if certain types of incidents occur. This notification is necessary to insure NRC is apprised of the incident so that the agency can determine if innediate action is needed on the part of NRC to protect the public health and safety. The incidents, reporting requirements, and the criteria are currently spelled out in 10 CFR CFR 20.403. However, the current requirements for reporting are not totally clear. This results in misunderstandings and a lack of reporting of incidents by material licensees.
NRC is proposing to revise the current requirements by amending the applicable regulations.
NRC is proposing to delete some of the reporting requirements from 10 CFR 20.403 for licensees and add several new sections in other parts of The parts in 20.403 to be deleted concern the f' "3 10 CFR for material licensees.
Mto property (10 CFR 20.403(a)(4)y (10 CFR 20.403(a)(3), and (b)(3), and dam 1 loss of operation of the facilit,and(b)(4). These sections are being deleted
'N)v T, e because the staff believes that these criteria are not necessarily indicative of events that pose a hazard to the public health and safety.3:The following new
- sections are being added to parts 30,50, 40.60 and 70.50.Since the sections that follow are being added to Parts 30.50, 40.60 and 70.50 identically, they are only shown once.
NRC places the primary responsibility on the licensee for controlling and using licensed material safely. Therefore, it is important that NRC receive reports of events or conditions that threaten the health and safety of individuals using licensed material or that prevent the performance of
l 4
surveys or other safety related duties necessary to maintain control of licensed material. A new reporting requirement for these types of tafety related events has been specifically included to clarify that such events must be reported.
A new requirement is also being added for licensees to report contamination events where access to an area must be restricted for more than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> because of contamination. This requirement is intended to capture an event which causes accidental contamination to an area which is in excess of the radiological conditions normally present.
Accidental contamination events increase radiation exposure and the risk of ingesting radioactive material.
A new reporting requirement requiring licensees to repori events in which equipment necessary to prevent uncontrolled reime :,( radioactive material, to prevent overexposure to radiation, or to mitigate the consequences of an accident is disabled or fails to function as designed.
This includes procedural errors, equipment failure, equipment damage, etc.
This notification is necessary where there are no backup systems available in order to protect the health and safety of the public. Notification is not required for an individual component failure if redundant systems are operable and are able to perform the required function.
A requirement for licensees to report events that require medical treatment of a radioactively contaminated individual at a medical facility is being added. Such events are highly significant because they:
1) indicate safety problems in a licensed operation, 2) risk internal contamination through open wounds, and 3) expose medical personnel to radiation and contamination. An evaluation must be performed to determine how to prevent any recurrence.
A new requirement has been added to report all fires involving any device, container, or equipment containing licensed material to ensure such events are promptly evaluated to minimize any spread of contamination and detemine the performance of features designed to control licensed material. Fires involving or damaging licensed material are of particular significance because a fire can cause material in sealed sources to be released, generate airborne radioactive contamination and generate contaminated runoff from water used to extinguish the fire.
In addition to the new requirements identified above, the term "immediate notification" is being defined as a period consisting of not more than four hours from the discovery of an event until the time it has to be reported.
The staff believes that four hours is appropriate for material licensees because many material licensees do not have the capability to quickly assess and respond to events like reactor licensees. Also, the degree of risk with material licensees is typically much less than with the hazard posed by
/-
reactor events.
The agency feels these changes are needed because NRC material licensees do not always report incidents that the staff believes should be reported.

Agency Use Of The Information The information provided in the incident reports is used by NRC to insure that the public health and safety it, protected to the maximum degree poss'.oie, incidents are reviewed to determine if patterns among certain vendors exist ralative to poorly designeo ar functional items as well as alerting specific types of licensees when a potentially significant problem in a specific area map occur.
Notification of licensees may be accomplished orally or in writing depending on the circumstances at the time. NRC's response to the licensee may be innediate or may be delayed due to the need for further evaluation.
J Reduction Of Burden Through Information Technology There are no legal obstacles to reducing the burden associated with this
.information collection by the use of information technology. NRC encourages the use of such technoloCies. However, the sporadic nature of the reporting requirement does not lend itself to the use of such current new technologies.
l l
Duplication Of Other Collections Of Information I
l l
There is no known duplication of information collection requirements within NRC relative to the reporting of the incidents specified in these regulations. The Information Requirement Control Automated System (IRCAS) was l
cearched and no duplication was found, l
Effort To Use Similar Information There is no known information that is similar to the requirement identified in the proposed amendments.
Information is only provided if an incident occurs.
Effort To Reduce Small Business Burden The burden on small business ;annot be reduced and still maintain the health and safety of the public.
Consequence Of Less Frequent Collection It is not possible to report less f requently unless the requirement to report to NRC is eliminated.
Should incidents not be reported, the public health and safety would be jeopardized.
Circumstances Which Justify Variation From OMB Guidelines Incidents that are required to be reported to the NRC under the revisions must be reported in either four hours or 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> depending on the nature and i
I severity of the incident. This is necessary so that NRC can make a determina-tion as to whether or not innediate action is required on the part of the agency to protect the public health and safety.

Thecollectionoftheinformationrequirlesapproximatelyfourandoneha hours of NRC staff time per report. The staff time is about i hour for the headquarters and f our hours for the regions.'4' For approximately 180 :eports received annually, NRC would expend about 810 hours0.00938 days <br />0.225 hours <br />0.00134 weeks <br />3.08205e-4 months <br /> of work. This inc?udes time for review, coordination, inspection, and any required follow-up. At
$92.00anhour,theannualcostswouldbe$74,520($92.00x810 hours).
Estimate Of Burden The actual cost or estimate of burden on the licensee is difficult to estimate because it is not clear how great the change in the number of incidents reports will be. Clarification of the rule may elicit responses from licensees who did not realize they were supposed to report certain events, and specification of the requirements may induce licensees to report events which may not have previously been reported. Discussion among the staff covering the latest 3-year period disclosed that only a few cases a year were not reported which NRC felt should have been reported. Consequently, it is difficult to estimate exactly whether or not the burden will increase. Assuming a worst case, the number of incident reports may double from approximately 90 to 180 reportable incidents per year. An average incident report would be about 2 to 3 pages in length. The average time to prepare such a report would be approximately 3 to 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. Assuming a maximum total of 180 incident reports, a maximum total of 720 hours0.00833 days <br />0.2 hours <br />0.00119 weeks <br />2.7396e-4 months <br /> per year would be expended.
