NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Documents Containing Reporting or Recordkeeping Requirements; 
Notice of Pending Submittal to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for Review

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information 
collection request to OMB and solicitation of public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of 
continued approval of information collections under the provisions of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 32, 
Specific Domestic Licenses to Manufacture or Transfer Certain Items 
Containing Byproduct Material.
    2. Current OMB Approval Number: 3150-0001
    3. How often the collection is required: There is a one-time 
submittal of information to receive a license. Renewal applications are 
submitted every 5 years. In addition, recordkeeping must be performed 
on an on-going basis, and reports of transfer of byproduct material 
must be reported every 5 years.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: All specific licensees who 
manufacture or initially transfer items containing byproduct material 
for sale or distribution to general licensees or persons exempt from 
licensing.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 265 NRC licensees and 333 
Agreement State licensees.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 53,333 hours or 201.26 hours per NRC licensee and 95,306.9 
hours or 286.21 hours per Agreement State licensee. The difference in 
individual licensee burden between NRC and Agreement States is due to 
the fact that a higher percentage of the Agreement State licensees are 
nuclear pharmacies, which have a large recordkeeping burden because of 
the labeling requirements for radiopharmaceuticals.
    7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 32 establishes requirements for specific 
licenses for the introduction of byproduct material into products or 
materials and transfer of the products or materials to general 
licensees or persons exempt from licensing. It also prescribes 
requirements governing holders of the specific licenses. Some of the 
requirements are information which must be submitted in an application 
for a specific license, records which must be kept, reports which must 
be submitted, and information which must be forwarded to general 
licensees and persons exempt from licensing. In addition, 10 CFR Part 
32 prescribes requirements for the issuance of certificates of 
registration (concerning radiation safety information about a product) 
to manufacturers or initial transferors of sealed sources and devices. 
Submission or retention of the information is mandatory for persons 
subject to the 10 CFR Part 32 requirements. The information is used by 
NRC to make licensing and other regulatory determinations concerning 
the use of radioactive byproduct material in products and devices.
    Submit, by March 22, 1996, comments that address the following 
questions:
    1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC 
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical 
utility?
    2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected?
    4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized, 
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology?
