The reconciliation shall be conducted during January of each year.  The reconciliation process shall include resolving any discrepancies between the National Source Tracking System and the actual inventory by filing the reports identified by subsections (b) through (f).  By January 31 of each year, each licensee shall submit to the National Source Tracking System confirmation that the data in the National Source Tracking System is correct. 

 

i)          Each licensee who possesses Category 1 and/or Category 2 nationally tracked sources shall report its initial inventory of Category 1 and/or Category 2 nationally tracked sources to the National Source Tracking System in accordance with the schedule specified in 10 CFR 20.2207(h) of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations.  The information may be submitted by using any of the methods identified by subsection (g)(1) through (g)(4).  The initial inventory report must include the following information:
