Description
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission invites public comment on the renewal of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for an existing collection of information. 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 and Agreement State 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. Agreement State licensees may use the information to comply with the compatible Agreement State regulations.
