II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of 
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, 
``Nuclear Material Events Database (NMED for the Collection of Event 
Report, Response, Analyses, and Follow-up Data on Events Involving the 
Use of Atomic Energy Act (AEA) Radioactive Byproduct Material.'' The 
NRC hereby informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct 
or sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a 
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 
control number.
    The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment 
period on this information collection on July 27, 2015 (80 FR 44401).
    1. The title of the information collection: ``Nuclear Material 
Events Database (NMED) for the Collection of Event Report, Response, 
Analyses, and Follow-up Data on Events Involving the Use of Atomic 
Energy Act (AEA) Radioactive Byproduct Material.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0178.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: NA.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion. 
Agreement States are requested to provide copies of licensee nuclear 
material event reports electronically or by hard copy to the NRC within 
30 days of receipt from their licensee. In addition, Agreement States 
are requested to report events that may pose a significant health and 
safety hazard to the NRC Headquarters Operations Officer within 24 
hours of notification by an Agreement State licensee.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Current Agreement 
States and any State receiving Agreement State status in the future.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 506.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 37.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 804 
hours.
    10. Abstract: NRC regulations require NRC licensees to report 
incidents and overexposures, leaking or contaminated sealed source(s), 
release of excessive contamination of radioactive material, lost or 
stolen radioactive material, equipment failures, abandoned well logging 
sources and medical events. Agreement State licenses are also required 
to report these events to their individual Agreement State regulatory 
authorities under compatible Agreement State regulations. The NRC is 
requesting that the Agreement States provide information to NRC on the 
initial

[[Page 79106]]

notification, response actions, and follow-up investigations on events 
involving the use (including suspected theft or terrorist activities) 
of nuclear materials regulated pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act. The 
event information should be provided in a uniform electronic format, 
for assessment and identification of any facilities/site-specific or 
generic safety concerns that could have the potential to impact public 
health and safety. The identification and review of safety concerns may 
result in lessons learned and may also identify generic issues for 
further study that could result in proposals for changes or revisions 
to technical or regulatory designs, processes, standards, guidance or 
requirements.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 15th day of December, 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
