NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for 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, new, revision, or extension: Extension.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 35, 
``Medical Use of Byproduct Material.''
    3. The form number if applicable: None.
    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: 1,907,515 NRC licensee 
responses and 4,768,739 Agreement State responses annually.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 1,891 NRC licensees 
and 4,728 Agreement State licensees.
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 369,916 hours for NRC licensees 
and 924,765 hours for Agreement State licensees, for a total burden of 
1,294,681 hours (196 hours per licensee).
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Public Law 104-13 
applies:
N/A
    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 the health and safety of the public is 
protected, and that the licensee's possession and use of byproduct 
material is in compliance with the license and regulatory requirements. 
The revision is a net decrease adjustment in burden resulting from a 
decrease in the number of affected licensees.
