Abstract: NRO is conducting a survey to obtain information for a comprehensive assessment of the risk associated with radioactive material which has entered the scrap stream due to loss of control of the material by licensed users. -Steel mills that have accidentally I

smelted the radioactive material that has been found in the metal recycling stream have incurred large expenses to decontaminate plants C

and unnecessary exposures also have occurred due to handling the radioactive material. The information from the survey will assist NRC in determining the probability of identifying radioactive material in the scrap stream and the likely radiation exposures to members of the public.

v SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR A SURVEY OF STEEL MILLS:

SUPPORT FOR A RISK ASSESSMENT OF GENERAL-AND SPECIFIC-LICENSED DEVICES A.

JUSTIFICATION Description of the Information Collection NRC is requesting OMB clearance to perform a survey of steel mills to determine the extent to which they are using radiation monitoring equipment to detect radioactive material in scrap metal, and how the steel mills react when radioactive material is detected.

Steel mills have installed monitoring equipment because radioactive material has been found in the metal recycling stream. Steel mills that have accidentally smelted the material have

. incurred large expenses to decontaminate plants and unnecessary exposures also have occurred due to handling the radioactive material.

Radioactive material has entered the scrap stream due to loss of control of the material by licensed users. Therefore, NRC is performing a comprehensive risk assessment to evaluate the effectiveness of regulation of radioactive material. The risk assessment will determine the risk associated with licensees' accountability of their devices, including the consequences of the loss uf material. The information from the survey will assist NRC in determining the probability of identifying radioactive material in the scrap stream and the likely radiation exposures to members of the public.

1, Need for and Practical Utility of the Collection of Information The survey information will be used to determine the risks associated with radioactive material that inadvertently enters the scrap stream. The information will assist in determining the probability of locating the material in the scrap stream and the effects the material has on property (e.g costs of decontamination and disposal) and health and safety (e.g., radiation exposure to members of the public).

2.

Aaency Use of Information The information will be used to support a risk assessment of accountability of radioactive material, including probability of finding lost material and consequences associated with loss of the material. The risk assessment will also evaluate the effectiveness of current NRC regulation of users of the material.

3.

Reduction of Burden Throuah Information Technolooy There are no legal obstacles to reducing the burden associated with this information collection by the use of automated equipment. However, steel mills do not maintain compilations of the information that is requested in the survey. Therefore, the information cannot be collected electronically. The steel mills will be requested to respond to a written questionnaire.

E 4.

Effort to identifv Duplication and Use Similar Information The Information Requirements Control Automated System (IRCAS) was searched to determine duplications; none were found. NRC is not aware of any sources that contain the information that is requested in the survey. NRC has asked trade associations representing the steelindustry and the associations are not aware of any sources that contain such information. There is no similar information available to NRC.

5.

Effort to Reduce Small Business Burden Some of the steel mills that are surveyed are small businesses. Therefore, the survey is designed to include only information that is essential to the risk assessment and the questions are structured such that they can be readily answered by knowledgeable staff at the mills.

6.

Conseauences to Federal Procram or Policy Activities if the Collection is Not Conducted or is Conducted Less Freauentiv This will be a one time survey. If the survey is not done, the NRC willlack important.

information that is part of the risk assessment of lost devices. Specifically, NRC will not know the likelihood of steel mills to detect lost radioactive material, the likelihood of radioactive material being smelted by steel mills, nor the likelihood of the material re-entering the public domain. This is important in determining the overall risk of the current regulation of radioactive material and how changes to the regulatory structure will lower the risk.

7.

Circumstances Which Justifv Variation From OMB Guidelingg There is no variation from OMB guidelines.

8.

. Consultations Outside the NRC The NRC discussed a rough draft of the survey with members of a trade association for steel manufacturers. It is expected that trade associations will assist NRC by distributing the survey to their members, collecting completed surveys, and forwarding

. all completed surveys to NRC.

9.

. Payment or Gifts to Respondents Not applicable.

10.

Confidentiality of the Information -

The survey will not contain any sensitive questions. Steel mills will send completed surveys to their trade associations..The survey does not ask that the mills be identified. Therefore, NRC will not know the identity of respondents.

2-

11.

Justification for sensitive Questions The survey will not contain any sensitive questions.

12.

Estimated Burden and Burden Hour Costs About 300 mills will be surveyed. The estimated time to complete the survey is 3 i

hours.

I l

Total estimated burden = 300 mills x 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> / mill = 900 hours0.0104 days <br />0.25 hours <br />0.00149 weeks <br />3.4245e-4 months <br /> l

Estimated cost = 900 hours0.0104 days <br />0.25 hours <br />0.00149 weeks <br />3.4245e-4 months <br /> x $125/ hour = $112,500 Trade associations have volunteered to distribute and collect the completed surveya.

Estimated cost = 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> x $125/ hour = $5,000 Total Burden and Costs to Industry The total burden to industry is 940 hours0.0109 days <br />0.261 hours <br />0.00155 weeks <br />3.5767e-4 months <br /> which equates to $117,500.

13.

Estimated other Additional Costs None. For respondents to this survey, it is most likely that purchases of equipment and services were made (1) prior to October 1,1995, (2) to achieve regulatory compliance with requirements not associated with the information collection, (3) for reasons other than to provide information or keep records for the government, or (4) as part of customary and usual business or private practices.

14.

Estimated Annualized Cost to the Federal Govemment The cost to the Federal Govemment for this one-time survey includes costs for NRC staff and contractor support.

Federal Govemment The NRC staff will develop the survey, analyze the results, and develop inputs for the risk assessment. It is estimated that this will require 1000 staff-hours.

1000 staff-hours x $125/ hour = $125,000 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

L Contractor Costs The survey development is being guided by a member of Los Alamos National Laboratory. This will take approximately 1 staff-month.

1 staff month x $18,000/ staff-month = $18,000 A contractor will enter the survey results into a spreadsheet and check the entries.

No purchase of computers or software is needed. A letter report will be prepared describing the spreadsheet.

Cost = $2000 Total Costs to Federal Government The total costs for NRC staff time and contractor support is $140,000. Since this is a one time survey, this effort will be expended within 1 year. This cost is fully recovered through license fees billed to NRC licensees pursuant to 10 CFR Parts 170 and/or 171.

15.

Reasons for Chanoes in Burden or Cost This is a new collection.

16.

Publication for Statistical use The results will not be published for statistical use. The NRC will compile the survey results and send a letter report to the trade associations.

17.

- Reason for Not Disolavino the Expiration Date Not applicable. The expiration date will be placed on the questionnaire.

18, Exceptions to the Certification Statement.

There are no exceptions, B
