SUBJECT:

10 CFR 20, 30, 40, 61, 70. AND 72, TERMINATION OR TRANSFER OF LICENSED ACTIVITIES: RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS, FINAL RULE We have reviewed the subject final rule and OMB clearance package for compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)

We request that the following changes be made in the rule:

Replace the Paperwork Reduction Act Statement in the rule with Attachment 1.

Correct the final rule burden indicated in the response to comments, item 1. last sentence. The burden indicated should match that included in the OMB clearance package for the final rule.

There are two footnote changes included in the final rule as items 20 and 21 that do not appear to have any relation to this rulemaking, the current regulatory text, or any other proposed or final rulemaking. We suggest that you verify their relevance and modify as appropriate.

The wording for section 72.80 has not been changed for consistency with the final rule changes made to sections 30.51(d), 40.61(d),

and 70.51(b)(6). Please review the text to determine if this section should be modified.

We have annotated the OMB clearance package (OCP) with numerous comments.

Because the package will be submitted under the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), changes are needed to conform the supporting statement and Federal Register Notice (FRN) to current PRA requirements. A revised FRN format is included. In addition, it will be necessary to complete the attached certification form and include it with the final DCP submittal.

Publication of the rule has been placed on hold with the Office of Administration pending IRM's approval of the OMB clearance package.

Should you require further assistance, please contact me at 415 7230.

l Attachment 1 PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT This final rule amends information collection requirements that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C 3501 et seq.).

These requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, approval number 3150 0014, 0017, 0020 0009, 0132, and 0135.

The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments on any aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Information and Records Management Branch (T 6 F33), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555 0001, and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulttory Affairs, NE0B 10202, (3150 0014. 0017. 0020. 0009, 0132, and 0135), Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.

Public Protection Notification The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid 0FB control number.

9. Abstract: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has revised its regulations pertaining to the disposition of certain records when I a licensee terminates licensed activities or when licensed activities are transferred or assigned to another licensee. The revised rule requires a licensee to transfer records pertaining to decommissioning to the new licensee if licensed activities will continue at the same site and the site has not been released for unrestricted use. If the license is to be terminate he rule would require the licensee to forward records pertaining to decommissioning to the NRC. The rule would also require a licensee to forward records pertaining to public dose and waste

, disposal to the NRC prior to license transfer, assignment, or termination. In addition, the revised rule requires that records concerning low-level waste facilities be transferred to the disposal site owner when the-facility is closed and the license is transferred and to forward these records to the NRC or the party responsible for institutional control when the NRC terminates the license and the party responsible for institutional control takes over the disposal site.
