SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR 10 CFR PART 71 PACKAGING AND TRANSPORTATION OF RADIDACTIVE MATERIAL (3150-0008)

REVISIONTOUEEXTENSION Ogscriotion of the Information Collection NRC regulations in 10 CFR Part 71 establish requirements for packaging, preparation for shipment, and transportation of licensed material, and prescribe procedures and standards for NRC approval of packaging and shipping procedures for fissile material and for quantities of other licensed material in excess of-Ty)e A quantities.

This revision includes the requirements for the " Rule to Ac11 eve-Compatibility with the International Atomic Energy Agency _

(IAEA)," for which OMB has already implemented the burden.

A.

JUSTIFICATION 1.

Need for and Practical Utilitv of the Collection of Information Section 71.5 requires that licensees who transport licensed material outside the confines of their plant or other place of use, or deliver licensed material to a carrier for transport, including cases when Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations are not applicable. conform to the standards and requirements of 00T specified in Section 71.5(a), including marking and labeling of packages.

Licensees are also required to file with the Commission any requests for modifications, waivers, or exemptions from the requirements of DOT regulations appropriate to the mode of transport, Section 71.7(b) requires that an applicant or licensee notify the Commission of information which the licensee recognizes as having significant-implications for the public health and safety or the common defense and security.

This requirement applies only to information which is not covered by other reporting or updating requirements.

The information must be provided within two working days.

This requirement is necessary because there may be some circumstances in which a licensee possesses some information which could be important to the protection of public health and safety or the common defense and security but which is not otherwise required to be reported, The codification of this full disclosure requirement should not result in significant additional burdens on a)plicants or licensees, No-formal program is required -What is expected is t1at licensees will maintain a professional attitude toward safety and that if some potential safety information is identified by the licensee, the information will-be provided freely and promptly to the NRC so that the agency can evaluate it and act on it if necessary, Section 71.8 specifies that licensees may submit an application for an exemption from the requirements of the regulations contained in 10 CFR Part 71.

Upon review of the application.- the NRC may grant an exemption from any particular aart of the regulation if it is determined that the exemption is authorized ]y law and will not endanger life or property.or the common defense and security.
