Abstract: In order to receive notification of certain shipments of irradiated reactor fuel and/or nuclear waste within or across the boundary of an Indian Tribe’s reservation, Tribes shall affirmatively opt into the advance notification program. Because the notification may contain Safeguards Information (SGI), the Tribal official will submit certification that the Tribal official or their designee(s) has completed NRC-provided training on the handling of SGI and has the necessary protection measures in place for implementation. The Tribal official will provide contact information for the designee(s) and emergency response contact(s). The Tribal official will also provide confirmation of the reservation boundaries or the necessary corrections to a map provided by the NRC. The NRC makes this information available to others, including NRC licensees. NRC licensees will use the information to comply with the NRC’s regulations that require them to provide advance notice of certain shipments of radioactive material to participating Tribes.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The overall burden for this collection has increased from 34 hours to 37.5 hours (rounded to 38 hours in ROCIS), for an overall increase of 4 hours. Recordkeeping burden increased due to a change in assumptions. Previous estimates assumed that not all participants would need to maintain procedures and keep SGI records; however, staff experience suggests that all participants will engage in these activities. As a result, the number of recordkeepers increased from 4 to 13. Reporting estimates have decreased slightly because fewer Tribes opted into the program than initially anticipated. The number of estimated respondents has been updated from to 17 respondents to 13 respondents over the three-year clearance period. The fee rate increased from $279 per hour to $317 per hour.
