II. Background

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to 
request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized 
below.
    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: Revision.
    4. The form number, if applicable: NA.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: 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: 450.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 39.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 720 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 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 AEA. 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 which could result in 
proposals for changes or revisions to technical or regulatory designs, 
processes, standards, guidance or requirements.

III. Specific Requests for Comments

    The NRC is seeking comments that address the following questions:
    1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC 
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical 
utility?
    2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection 
accurate?
    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected?
    4. How can the burden of the information collection on respondents 
be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology?
