[TRIBE NAME] REQUEST TO RECEIVE ADVANCE NOTICE OF CERTAIN SHIPMENTS OF IRRADIATED REACTOR FUEL AND NUCLEAR WASTE PURSUANT TO TITLE 10 OF THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS SECTIONS 71.97 AND 73.37

Dear Title,

Last Name:

Thank you for your interest in participating in th e U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) Advance Notification Program. In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulation (10 CFR) Sections 71.97 and 73.37, this program affords the opportunity for Federally recognized Tribes to receive advance notification of certain shipments of irradiated reactor fuel and nuclear wastes within or across the boundary of their reservation. The NRCs regulations require licensees to provide notifications to participating Tribal officials, or their designees.

To opt into the program, please submit the following information by letter to the NRC Tribal Liaison Program Manager, Nadiyah Morgan at 11545 Rockville Pike, Mail Stop: T-5B60, Rockville, MD 20852 or by email at Nadiyah.Morgan@nrc.gov 1:

1. Tribal official to assign a designee and alternate for receipt of the notifications and contact information. Also, the NRC requests contact information for the Tribal emergency response individual.

Example: I, [Name and Title] of the [Tribe], do hereby designate [Name and Title] and alternate [Name and Title], as the representatives of [Tribe] to receive notifications of certain shipments of irradiated reactor fuel and nuclear wastes pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulation Sections 71.97 and 73.37. I have determined that these individuals have a need-to-know for this information and recognize that they may receive sensitive and/or safeguards infor mation that will need to be appropriately handled. I understand that the NRC will publish this contact information in a future Federal Register notice and on the NRC website for access by licensees.

1 This information request has been approved by OMB 3150-0250 ex piration XX/XX/202X. The estimated burden per response to comply with this voluntary collection is approximately 5.5 hou rs. Comments regarding this collection may be submitted to the FO IA, Library and Information Collections Branch, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by e-mail to infocollects.resource@nrc.gov, and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202 (3150-0250), Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503. If a means used to impose an information collection does not display a currently valid OMB control number, the NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, the information collection.

The Tribal official and designees are relieved from the fingerprinting; identification and criminal history records checks; and other elements of background checks and fingerprinting checks as described in 10 CFR 73.59.

2. Tribal official to provide a written statement that certifies the following for each designee:

(1) necessary protection measures are in place and will be implemented for safeguards, as described in NUREG/BR-0362, Protection of Safeguards Information: Requirements for Tribes Participating in the Advance Notification of Irradiated Reactor Fuel Shipments (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System [ADAMS] Accession No. ML12283A116) in enclosure 1; and

(2) completion of the self-directed course, Safeguards Information (SGI) Awareness Training (ADAMS No. ML16083A340) in enclosure 2.

Certain information provided for shipments of irradiated reactor fuel is considered SGI under the NRC regulations, which is a special category of sensitive unclassified information that must be protected against unauthorized disclosure and shared only on a need-to-know basis. Tribes may develop implementing procedures for protecting SGI, but these procedures do not require NRC review and approval for participation in the advance notification program.

3. Tribal official to verify the provided map of the Tribal reservation. Enclosure 3 consists of a map identifying the [Tribe Name] reservation boundaries and any NRC approved transportation routes. Data from the [source] was used to develop the map.

Please review the map and submit changes if needed. The map will be posted to the NRC website and used by NRC licensees to determi ne if Tribal notification is required.

The NRC is committed to enhancing Tribal engagement and appreciates your interest in the NRCs Advance Notification Program. If you have any questions, please contact [Tribal Liaison] at First.Last@nrc.gov or 301-415-XXXX.

Sincerely,
