The Commission has also approved the change of the rule’s basis to public health and safety.

Following incorporation of these changes, the Federal Register notice should be reviewed by the Rules Review and Directives Branch in the Office of Administration and forwarded to the Office of the Secretary for signature and publication.

The staff should continue its efforts on the Interagency Coordinating Committee for the NSTS to ensure that federal agencies, such as Customs and Border Protection (CBP), have access to information in the NSTS.

The staff should provide the Commission with an explanation of how they intend to transfer data from NMED to NSTS in a timely manner.

As part of its interagency activities, the staff should keep abreast of technological developments and the efforts of other federal agencies involved in tracking radioactive materials on the ability to provide for real time tracking of nationally tracked sources in the future. The staff should periodically update the Commission on this aspect of source tracking.

The staff should expeditiously inform the Commission should issues arise during the implementation process that are indicative of any problem in meeting the specified implementation time frame.
