NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and 
solicitation of public comment.

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

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following 
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). The NRC hereby 
informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or 
sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a collection 
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

    1. Type of submission: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 35, 
``Medical Use of Byproduct Material.''
    3. The form number: Not applicable.
    4. How often the collection is required: Required reports are 
collected and evaluated on a continuing basis as needed due to a 
change in programs or as events occur.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Physicians and 
medical institutions who are applicants for, or hold, an NRC license 
authorizing the administration of byproduct material, or its 
radiation, to humans for medical use.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 1,882,283 responses 
from NRC licensees and 4,705,652 responses from Agreement State 
licensees.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 1,982 NRC 
licensees and 4,955 Agreement State licensees.
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 376,407 hours for NRC licensees 
and 942,820 hours for Agreement State licensees.
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 35, ``Medical Use of Byproduct 
Material,'' contains requirements that apply to NRC licensees who 
are authorized to administer byproduct material, or its radiation, 
to humans for medical use. The information in the required reports 
and records is used by the NRC to ensure that public health and 
safety is protected, and that the licensee possession and use of 
byproduct material is in compliance with license and regulatory 
requirements. The revision is a net increase adjustment in burden 
resulting from an increase in the number of affected licensees, a 
reevaluation of the time required to perform individual activities 
and the number of times those activities are performed, and an 
addition of burden associated with three sections, two of which are 
a result of rulemaking, and one which was inadvertently omitted 
during the last evaluation of burden.

Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW (Lower Level), Washington, DC.
