'Ms. Lynn Fairobent Nucitar Management and Resources Council

.1776 Eye Street, N.W.

Washington, D.C., JUL 0 71993

Dear Ms. Fairobent:

Enclosed are the mire ' for the' June 26, 1989 meetin the Nuclear Management and Resources Councilconcernin (NUMARC)g between NRC staff have certain waste designated as Below Regulatory ConcernIn(BRC)g . this a petition to meeting, NUMARC also requested that the NRC staff provide copies of several documents and feedback on some other points.

In response to this request, I have enclosed a copy of Manual Chapter 0230, and the listing of Agreement States. A. copy of the State of Texas regulations on specific waste exemptions has been forwarded separately.

NUMARC also asked about'the number of copies of the petition that the NRC expects would be needed to process this petition. We have checked with the NRC Offices that would be involved in reviewing this petition and estimate that a total of 80 copies would be needed. Approximately 40 of these copies would be earmarked for distribution to Agreement States and Non-Agreement States with reactors. These copies could be supplied either by NUMARC or reproduced by NRC barring any copywrite restrictions. If additional discussion is needed on this point please contact Mr. William Lahs, Office of Research on (301)492-3774.

Finally, NUMARC asked about any format requirements for petition data which is submitted to NRC on floppy disks. The type of data expected to be submitted in this form is information on NUMARC's use of the IMPACTS-BRC code. This information should be submitted on one or more 5 1/4 inch 360K floppy discs.

The discs should contain the source code as modified, an executable version of the modified code, and all input and output data files. It is assumed that the t petition will include justification for choosing code variables and or changes in default values to site-specific values.

If you have any questions or comments concerning this package, please do not hesitate to contact me on (301) 492-0567.

Sincerely. .

NRC-NUMARC MEETING ON CONTENTS OF BRC PETITION

}

DATE:. Monday, June 26, 1989 ,

TIME: 2:30 to 4:30 P.M. 1 LOCATION: NRC White Flint Bldg., Rockville, MD ,

PURPOSE: -

On June 26, 1989, the Nuclear Management and Resources Council (NUMARC) briefed the NRC staff on the expected content of a petition it is preparing to have specific reactor waste streams designated as Below Regulatory Concern (BRC).

The purpose of this briefing was to provide an overview of the petition which is expected to be submitted to NRC in the July / August 1989 timeframe. The meeting agenda (Attachment A) and list of participants (Attachment B) are er. closed.

DISCUSSION:.

reparing this petition with support from Electric Power Research NUMARC Institute is p(EPRI) and Edison Electric Institute (EEI) on behalf of 54 nuclear utilities. The potential BRC waste addressed in the petition represent 20 to 30 percent of the volume and .018 percent of the activity of all LLW generated .

by commercial reactors. The various wastes considered are grouped'as one waste stream with certain bounding physical and radiological properties. The characteristics of the waste discussed in this petition are representative of all commercial reactors with the exception of iMI-2 and Fort Saint Vrain.

Waste from these two facilities have unique characteristics and are therefore not covered by this petition. However, NUMARC indicated that some.TMI-2 and Fort Saint Vrain waste may be considered BRC waste under the proposed rules that result from the petition if a case may be made to justify that position.

NuldRCindicatedthatthepetitionisorganizedinthreeparts: the petition itself, and two attachments. The information contained in the petition is organized under the following headings: introduction; regulatory requirements; decision criteria; the proposed rule; environmental analysis; regulatory analysis; economic impact on small entities; and the Paperwork Reduction Act.

The first attachment will contain the technical justification for the petition, and the'second attachment will contain 14 separate EPRI reports which documert i l

the research effort in support of the petition.

The proposed rule in the petition is expected to require amendments to 10 CFR Part 20. Changes to other parts in 10 CFR are not anticipated. NUMARC stated that waste streams with the potential for recycle would not qualify as BRC

-waste under this petition. In addition, NUMARC added that the impact of designating waste as BRC is expected to result in a dose of 15 millirems per

' f;. ' .

4 $

CG/6-89/NUMARC-NRC MEETING year to the maximally exposed individual (transport worker) and less than 4 millirems per year to all others.

In the course of this meeting, NUMARC requested that NRC staff provide the following information: (1) Manual Chapter 0230 " Collections of Information and Reports Management"; (2) Agreement States address listing; (3) a copy of the State of Texas regulations addressing specific waste exemptions "TRCR Part 21";

(4) any format requirements for the submittal of petition data on floppy disks; and, (5) the number of copies of the petition requested for NRC use. The NRC staff will collect and forward this information to NUMARC.

• COLLECTIONS OF INFORMATION NRC Appendix 0230 AND REPORTS MANAGEMENT Part I EXHIBIT 3 OMB SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR REGULATORY GUIDE 124 GUIDE TO LICENSE APPLICATION FOR METAPHYSICAL USE OF BYPRODUCT MATERIAL Description of the Information Collection Regulatory Guide 12 recommends that persons licensed for the metaphysical .

use of byproduct material count the number of atoms in their possession and report the number to the NRC quarterly.

A. JUSTIFICATION

1. Need for the Collection of Information. Section 80 of .the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 requires the NRC to limit the number of atoms possessed by any licensee at any point in time. In order to fulfill the requirements of the Act, NRC needs to know how many atoms each licensee possesses.

2. Agency Use of Information. The quarterly Atom Accounting Report is sent to the Atom Accounting and Control Branch, NMSS. There the most recent accounting is compared to the previous atomic num-ber to determine whether the licensee has created or destroyed mat-ter during the quarter. If the requested information is not collected, the NRC program to control the number of atoms in the public domain cannot be implemented.

3. Reduction of Burden Through Information Technology. There are no legal obstacles to reducing the burden associated with this infor-mation collection; however, technical difficulties prevent reducing the burden below its current level. Automated atom counting and reporting systems have been developed; however, their present inability to detect and report atoms with counter-clockwise rotation prevents their use for the reporting recommended by this guide.

4. Effort to Identify Duplication. The Federal Information Locator System was searched to determine NRC and other Federal agency duplication. Minimal duplication was found in EPA's waste atom accounting program . Under that program certain persons must report the number of waste atoms discarded each quarter.

5. Effort to Use Similar Information. This information in the EPA program could be used as a portion of their Atom Accounting Re-port, however, even with respect to the small number of persons subject to the EPA program, waste atoms represent only a small fraction of the atoms which must be reported to NRC.

Part 1- AND REPORTS MANAGEMENT {

6. Effort to Reduce Small Business Burden. Approximately 75% of the persons -licensed for the metaphysical use of byproduct material are small businesses. Since the conseque'nces of exceeding the posses-sion limit specified in the license is the same for large and small entities it is not possible to reduce the burden on small businesses by less frequent or less complete accounting or control procedures.

l

7. Consequences of Less Frequent Collection. If the requested infor-mation is collected 'less frequently, the licensee may exceed the possession limit specified by his license without detection by NRC.

This would endanger public and worker safety by altering the energy / matter balance in the universe.

8. Circumstances Which Justify Variation From OMB Guidelines. Con-trary . to OMB guidelines, one original and four copies are recom-mended for submission to NRC. The original goes to NRC's Atom Accounting and Control Branch, and one copy goes to the appro-priate NRC Rcgional Office for use in making inspections. of the licensees' facilities. NRC sends one copy to EPA for use in its waste atom program. Due to the potential effect on common defense and security of an atomic imbalance, NRC sends one copy to the Department of Defense and one copy to the Department of Energy.

9. Consultations Outside the NRC. The persons listed in Attachment A were contacted to obtain their views on the collection of information.

10. Confidentiality of Information. NRC provides no pledge of confiden-tiality for this collection of information.

11. Justification for Sensitive Questions. In very few cases Regulatory Guide 125 requests sensitive information on religious beliefs. No other sensitive information normally considered private is requested.

This sensitive information may affect the licensee's ability to use byproduct material in metaphysical use.

12. Estimated Annualized Cost to the Federal Government. The collec-tion of information will require an average of four hours of NRC staff time per report. For 100 respondents the collection will require 1600 hours0.0185 days <br />0.444 hours <br />0.00265 weeks <br />6.088e-4 months <br /> per year. (4 hr./ report x 100 reports / quarter x 4 quarter /yr = 1600 hrs /yr.) Annual labor cost at $60 per staff hour will be $96,000. Additional costs of information-storage, cod-ing, tabulation and analysis will be approximately $1000 per year.

Total annual cost to the Federal government will be approximately

$97,000 pe: year.

The estimate of labor cost is based on time records kept by personnel m the Atom Accounting and Control Branch for tim past 3 years. Estimates of additional costs are based on actual material and service purchase records.

13. Estimate of Burden.

. a. The estimated annual burden for this information collection ranges from 1,000 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> for licensees with low possession limits to 100,000 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> for licensees with- high possession limits.

Details' of the burden : estimate are provided in . Attachment' B.

Total annual industry burden is 1,825,000 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br />.

,b. Estimated annual cost per respondent to respond to the collec-tion ranges from $60,000 -($60/hr x 1,000 hrs) to $6,000,000

- ($60/hr. x 100,000 hrs.) See Attachment B. Total annual

' industry cost is $109,500,000.

c. Licensees. in three groups, low, medium and high possession limit, were contacted by telephone and asked to provide actual cort information. This data was assumed to be typical for other IIcensees in each group.

14. Reasons for Change in Burden. The burden estimated here represents an increase of 1,000- hours and $60,000 over the annual

~

industry burden estimated under the current clearance. The -

increase results from the licensing of one additional person for the metaphysical use of byproduct material at a low possession limit.

15. Publication for Statistical Use. NRC tabulates and publishes an annual summary of the information included in the quarterly Atom Accounting Reports. Tabulation of data begins in the third quarter of each year, and is updated to reflect data in the final quarter.

The annual summary is usually published during the second quarter-of the year following the year in which the data was collected.

B. COLLECTIONS OF INFORMATION EMPLOYING STATISTICAL METHODS Statistical methods are not used in the collection of information. The Regulatory Guide recommends that each person ' licensed for the meta-physical use of byproduct material submit an Atom Accounting Report.
