added to packages once. Identification of codes and standards proposed

Previously submitted material would be consolidated and submitted once,

with the application. Written instructions would be provided to a

carrier once for each exclusive use shipment.

5. Who will be required or asked to report: All NRC specific

licensees who place byproduct, source, or special nuclear material into

transportation, and all persons who wish to apply for NRC approval of

package designs for use in such transportation.

Part 71 would add four additional information collection requirements

as follows: serial numbers on Type B packages; consolidation of

previously submitted material in renewal applications; written

instructions to carriers for exclusive use shipments; and maintenance
