ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is proposing an amendment to its regulations that would reluire certain licensees to subt: lit data to the NRC in computer readable form. The propored rule is intended to streamline the collection of .1uclear natorial transaction data and increase the accuracy of the ruported information. The proposed rule would result in an annual cost cavings of approximately $100,000 in the data collection offort.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before (90 days after

'tlu/%

publication of rule), comments received after this date'will be considered if it is practical to do so, but only those comments received on or before this date can be' assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Co:'unents or suggestions regarding the proposed-I anendments.should be sent to the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, Attantion: Docketing and Service Branch.- Copies of comments >

received will be available in the NRC Public Document Room at 2120'L Street NW (Lower Level), Washington, DC 20555, l .

SUPPLEMENTARY INPORMATION:

The HRC has a major interest in the potential une for computer readable submittal. This ).nnovation not only can result in monetcry savings but also can increase efficiency and accuracy of data collection efforts. In April 1989 the NRC notified licensees reporting npocial nuclear matorial transactions on hard copy forms that they could instead submit their reports.in machine readable forn. Specific submittal procedures, as detailed in the " Personal Computer Data Input for NRC Licenseev' (Nuclear Haterials Management and Safeguards' System (NKHSS)

Report D-24) was to be followed.

The NRC la proposing to amend its regulations to require-licensees satisfying reporting. requirements using DOE /NRC Forn 741, " Nuclear Material Transaction Repo'Jt," DOE /NRC Forn 741A.

" Nuclear Material Transaction Report (Continuation Page),"

DOE /NRC Form 740H, " Concise Note," DOE /NRC Form 742, " Material Balance Report," and DOE /NRC Form 742C, " Physical Inventory Listing," to submit the repo;ta in computer readable form.

This proposed regulatory change makes mandatory the reporting in- -;

computur readable form in the format prescribed by that document.

This proposed change wouldfatreamline the collection of nuclear material transaction data end result in greater-accuracy. . It would eliminate the need for paper forms, thus'providing a cost savings-for the NRC in satisfying its statutory and treaty obligatione.

c- - -- , -

The propnsad amendments would affect each specific licensee who transfers,- receiven, or adjusts the inventory in any manner by 1 kilogram or more of uranium or thorium sourco material of fcreign origin or who imports or exports 1 kilogram or more of uranium or thorium source material of any origin. Each specific liconnec who transfers or recuives 1 gram or more of contained- ,

uranium-235, uranium-233, or plutonium would also be affected.

These proposed amendments are intendud only to take advantage cf current computer technology to make mora uf ficient and less costly the data collection process. The Commission believes there will be minimal costs associated with implementation of these proposed amendments but nonetheless oncourages licensees to comment on the cost impact of complying with the rula, if such impact is considered signficant.

Most licensees already have their material-accounting autenated and can easily generate computer readable reports.

For those licensees who have not yet autonated their reporting, a diskette with the appropriate formats and user prompts may be o']taired from the NRC to f acilitate this process. Licensees may obtain a copy of the NMMSS report or the diskette by writing the l

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Ccamission, Division of Safeguards and L Transportation, Washington, DC 20S55.

l l-L Submission of Comments in Electronic Format i

commenters are encouraged to submit, in additien to the

l. original paper copy, a' copy of the letter in electronic format'on S.25 or 3.5 inch computer diskettet IBM PC/ DOS or MS/ DOS format.

Text files should be provided in Wordperfect format or L unform :ted ASCII code. The format and version should be identified'on the diskette's external label.

4 Environrent Impact: Categorical Exclusion The NRC has determined that this proposed change is the type of action deceribed in the categorical exclusion 10 CFR 51.33(c)(2). Therefore, neither an environmental impact .i statement nor an environmental assessment has been prepared for the proposed rule.

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement This proposed rule amends information collection rcquirements that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of ,

1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This rulo has been' submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for review and approval of the paperwork requirements.

Since the rule would eliminate the need for certain paper forms, the public rnperting burden for the collection of-internation is expected to be reduced. The resulting burden >

reduction for DOE /NRC Forms 741, 741A, 742, and 740M is estimated to average .25 hours2.893519e-4 days <br />0.00694 hours <br />4.133598e-5 weeks <br />9.5125e-6 months <br /> pe r response. The resulting burden ,

reduction for DOE /NRC l'orm 742C is estimated to average 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> ,

por response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the.

data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of 4 information. Send comments regarding the estimated burden reduction or any other aspect of this collection of.informatior.,

including suggestions for further reducing reporting burden, to- _

the Information and Records -Hanagement Branch (MNDB-7714 ),

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555L.and to-the Desk Of ficer, Of fice of Information and Regulatory Af f airs, HEOB-3019, (3150-0003, -0004, - 00057, and -0058), Office of Management and Budget, Weshington, DC 20503.

5 Regulatory Analysis These proposed amendments would have no significant impact on State and local governments and geographical regions. They would have a significant positive impact on the efficiency and accuracy of the data collection process. The proposed amendments would not have a significant impact on health, safety, and the environment. This rule would make all licensnes submit computer readable reportn regarding special nuclear material transactions.

The NRC would realize a cost savings of approximately $100,000.

Licensees have already demonstrated their computer expertise by generating near perfect copies of the current forms on Laser Jet printers. Generating computer readable data in accordance with a prescribed format offers less burden than producing these forns.

The r? ale would facilite.te the collection of data by the NRC to satisfy its statutory and treaty obligations. This constitutes the regulatory analysis for this proposed rule.

Regulatory Flexibility Certification In accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 605 (b)), the Commission certifies that this change will not, if promulgated, have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This proposed rulu would affect all licensees required to report special nuclear material transactions using DOE /NRC Forms 741, 741A, 742, 742C, and 740M.

The companies that own nuclear power plants or nuclear fuel fabrication plants have already automated their material accounting program and can easily generate computer readable reports. Other companies that have not yet automated their reporting may obtain a disketto from the HRC to assist them in satisfying their reporti.ig requirements. These ccmpanies may fall within the scope of "small entities
