SUBJECT:
NORTHWESTERN BAND OF THE SHOSHONE NATION REQUEST TO RECEIVE ADVANCE NOTIFICATION OF SHIPMENTS OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL PURSUANT TO TITLE 10 OF THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS PARTS 71 AND 73
Dear Chairman Alex:
Thank you for the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nations interest in participating in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) Advance Notification Program. This program allows Tribal nations to receive advance notification of NRC licensed shipments of irradiated reactor fuel and other nuclear wastes passing across their reservation pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 10 CFR Parts 71, (nuclear waste) and Part 73, (irradiated reactor fuel). The NRCs regulations require licensees to provide notification of shipments of certain radioactive material to Tribal nations that have opted to participate in this program when these shipments will pass within or through their reservation boundaries.1 To opt Northwestern Band of Shoshone Nation into the program, the NRC needs to receive the following three items from an official of the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation:
Contacts:
The name and contact information of the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nations designated representative(s) for the notifications that would be made pursuant to 10 CFR Parts 71 and 73. In the email request from Mr. Jason Walker to include the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation in the program, he named himself, you, and Mr. Hunter Timbimboo as designated representatives. You may designate one of these individuals as the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nations designated representative to receive the advance notifications and provide contact information for this individual and choose to designate back-ups (or alternate) designees for those instances where the Northwestern 1

Band of the Shoshone Nations designated representative is unavailable. The Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nations designated representative may be identified through a position or title. The position or title should be specific enough to correspond to an individual (i.e., it should not be a generic position or title that may be held by more than one person at one time). Individuals designated to receive advance notification are deemed trustworthy and reliable and have a need-to-know the information. The NRC will publish this contact information in a future Federal Register notice and on the NRC website for access by licensees.
Safeguards Information Protection:
Confirmation that each designee has taken, understands and will implement measures described in the attached self-directed Safeguards Information (SGI) training on protection of safeguards information. Information on shipments is considered SGI, which is a special category of sensitive unclassified information that must be protected from unauthorized disclosure and shared only on a need-to-know basis.
Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nations Map:
Confirmation that the NRC has the correct reservation boundaries. The attached map shows the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nations reservation boundaries. Data from the United States Geological Survey was used to develop this map. Please review and submit changes, if needed. The existence of an intersecting route is not a requirement for opting in to participate in the program. Once the NRC receives the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nations confirmation of accuracy, the map will be added to the NRC website, so shippers are aware of the reservation boundaries.
The NRC appreciates your cooperation in maintaining the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nations designee information for the advance notification of certain shipments of radioactive
