Abstract: In 2006, the NRC amended its regulations to implement a National Source Tracking System (NSTS) for certain sealed sources. The amendments require licensees to report certain transactions involving nationally tracked sources to the NSTS. These transactions include manufacture, transfer, receipt, disassembly, or disposal of the nationally tracked source. The NRC Form 748 is used to collect this information (submitted via fax, mail, or email), or licensees may submit the information using an online system. This information collection is mandatory and is used to populate the NSTS.

The current estimates are based on annual averages from calendar years 2012, 2013, and 2014. • The number of overall NSTS transactions has increased over the last three years. In addition, the fee rate has increased from $274 to $279 per hour.
