NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; Comment Request
AGENCY: 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 current valid OMB control number.
1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision.
2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 35, Medical
Use of Byproduct Material.
3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
4. How often the collection is required: Reports of medical events,
doses to an embryo/fetus or nursing child, or leaking sources are
reportable on occurrence. A certifying entity desiring to be recognized
by the NRC must submit a one-time request for recognition.
5. Who will be required or asked to report: Physicians and medical
institutions holding an NRC license authorizing the administration of
byproduct material or radiation therefrom to humans for medical use.
6. An estimate of the number of responses: The estimated number of
annual responses: 242,030 (51,309 responses from NRC licensees + 1,759
recordkeepers and 184,686 responses from Agreement State licensees +
6,332 recordkeepers). Also 23 specialty certification boards are
expected to request recognition under the proposed revision of part 35
(amendment of 10 CFR part 35, ``Medical Use of Byproduct Material--
Recognition of Specialty Boards'').
7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 8,091 (1,759 NRC
licensees and 6,332 Agreement State licensees).
8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to
complete the requirement or request: 1,113,217 hours (242,030 hours for
NRC licensees and 871,059 hours for Agreement State licensees [an
average of 138 hours per licensee] and an additional one-time burden of
128 hours for certifying boards).
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 NRC's requirements and provisions for the medical
use of byproduct material and for issuance of specific licenses
authorizing the medical use of this material. These requirements and
provisions provide for the radiation safety of workers, the general
public, patients, and human research subjects. 10 CFR part 35 contains
mandatory requirements that apply to NRC licensees authorized to
administer byproduct material or radiation therefrom 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
possession and use of byproduct material is in compliance with the
license and regulatory requirements.
