NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

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).
    1. The title of the information collection: Registration 
Certificate--in vitro Testing with Byproduct Material Under General 
License.
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0038.
    3. How often the collection is required: There is a one-time 
submittal of information to receive a validated copy of NRC Form 483 
with an assigned registration number. In addition, any changes in the 
information reported on NRC Form 483 must be reported in writing to the 
Commission within 30 days after the effective date of such change.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Any physician, veterinarian 
in the practice of veterinary medicine, clinical laboratory or hospital 
which desires a general license to receive, acquire, possess, transfer, 
or use specified units of byproduct material in certain in vitro 
clinical or laboratory tests.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 364 (104 NRC licensees and 260 
Agreement State licensees).
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 42 hours.
    7. Abstract: Section 31.11 of 10 CFR establishes a general license 
authorizing any physician, clinical laboratory, veterinarian in the 
practice of veterinary medicine, or hospital to possess certain small 
quantities of byproduct material for in vitro clinical or laboratory 
tests not involving the internal or external administration of the 
byproduct material or the radiation therefrom to human beings or 
animals. Possession of byproduct material under 10 CFR 31.11 is not 
authorized until the physician, clinical laboratory, veterinarian in 
the practice of veterinary medicine, or hospital has filed NRC Form 483 
and received from the Commission a validated copy of NRC Form 483 with 
a registration number.
    Submit, by April 22, 2002, 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?
