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 Radioactive Byproduct Material
Extension without change of a currently approved collection
In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is approved for three years. However, as a term of clearance, the Agency is required to calculate burden based on the anticipated burden for the three year period approved by this ICR and not based on the actual burden of the previous 3 years.

.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 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 which could result in proposals for changes or revisions to technical or regulatory designs, processes, standards, guidance or requirements.
The overall burden hours for the Agreement States have increased by 58 hours from 746 to 804. The number of estimated responses (reported events) has increased from 471 to 506.
The estimated number of reported events is based on an annual average of the number of reported events, as reported by the NMED contractor, for fiscal years 2012 through 2014. The NRC staff expects to receive a similar number of reports annually during the next clearance cycle.
Costs have decreased due to a decrease in the fee rate from $274/hr to $268/hr.
Finally, it should be noted that due to the slightly increased number of events, the estimated hours and cost to the Federal government has increased.
