The number of NRC and Agreement State licensees that could be affected by this effort exceeds 5,000.
An important part of NRCs evaluation is soliciting input from the regulated community, many of whom have not been subject to enhanced security and accountability requirements. The NRC has published a Federal Register Notice (FRN), 82 FR 2399, which contains specific questions for stakeholders to consider regarding Category 3 source security and accountability.
Additionally, the NRC will hold public meetings and webinars to facilitate feedback on the FRN and will provide presentations to industry groups and professional organizations to solicit feedback from a wide range of affected stakeholders.
