L. 93-438), defines an “abnormal occurrence” as an unscheduled incident or event that the NRC determines to be significant from the standpoint of public health or safety. The FY 2021 AO report, NUREG-0090, Volume 44, “Report to Congress on Abnormal Occurrences: Fiscal Year 2021” (ADAMS Accession No. ML22213A019), describes those events that the NRC identified as AOs during FY 2021. This report describes six events involving Agreement State licensees and two events involving NRC licensees. Seven of the AOs occurred at medical facilities and the other event occurred at the National Institute of Standards and Technology Center for Neutron Research. The NRC identified no events at NRC-licensed facilities during FY 2021 that met the guidelines for inclusion in Appendix B, “Other Events of Interest.” No events met the guidelines for inclusion in Appendix C, “Updates of Previously Reported Abnormal Occurrences.” Agreement States are the 39 U.S. States that currently have entered into formal agreements with the NRC pursuant to Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA), to regulate certain quantities of AEA-licensed material at facilities located within their borders. The Federal Reports Elimination and Sunset Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-68) requires that AOs be reported to Congress annually. The full report, NUREG-0090, Volume 44, “Report to Congress on Abnormal Occurrences: Fiscal Year 2021,” is also available electronically at the NRC's public website at *https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff.* Dated: August 10, 2022. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Brooke P. Clark, Secretary of the Commission. [FR Doc. 2022-17471 Filed 8-12-22; 8:45 am]
