NRC Sends OMB Notice to Renew Packaging and Transportation Information Collection

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission submitted a notice to the Office of Management and Budget on February 25, 2026 seeking renewal of an existing information collection titled "Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material." The filing names the collection explicitly and marks a formal step by the NRC on that date to keep the collection active.

The document submitted to OMB on February 25, 2026 concerns renewal rather than a new rule; the title "Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material" indicates the focus of the information the NRC collects. The agency identified the collection as an existing requirement and transmitted the renewal notice to the Office of Management and Budget for consideration on that same day.

Renewal of the "Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material" collection has practical implications for entities that currently supply data under that information collection. By submitting the notice to OMB on February 25, 2026, the NRC maintained the administrative path that determines whether the collection’s paperwork and reporting elements continue unchanged, are modified, or lapse. The filing on February 25 makes clear the agency’s intent to pursue continued oversight tied to packaging and transport information.

The February 25, 2026 submission to OMB arrived under the collection’s formal name, ensuring there is no ambiguity about which set of reporting requirements the NRC is seeking to renew. That formal naming matters for organizations that track federal information collections and for compliance officers who monitor filings tied to transportation of radioactive materials. The NRC’s action on February 25 establishes a record with OMB for that specific collection title.

NRC officials transmitted the renewal notice to the Office of Management and Budget on February 25, 2026; the filing is dated and titled to match the existing "Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material" information collection. With the notice now in OMB’s hands as of February 25, the immediate administrative fact is clear: the NRC has requested renewal for the collection that governs reporting related to packaging and transportation of radioactive material.
