Chapter 35). 1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision. 2.

The form number if applicable: Not applicable. 4. How often is the collection required: As the events occur. [[Page 4805]] 5. Who will be required or asked to report: All NRC licensees. 6. An estimate of the number of responses: 19,800. 7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 20 per year. 8.

Abstract: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to require reporting of events that cause, or have the potential to cause, an exposure of individuals whether or not the exposure exceeds the regulatory limits. This proposed rule would add a new requirement for licensees to notify the NRC Operations Center within 24 hours after finding any event of intentional or allegedly intentional deviation of licensed radioactive material from its intended or authorized use. In addition, the proposed rule would add a new requirement for licensees to notify the NRC when they are unable, within 48 hours of discovery of the event, to rule out that the use was intentional. Submit by April 8, 1996, comments that address the following question: 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 burden estimate 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 be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology?
