NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; Comment Request
AGENCY: U. S. 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 10 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, and in a few cases, every year.
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 estimated number of annual respondents: 972 (275 NRC
licensees and 700 Agreement State licensees).
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 135,741 (36,623 hours for NRC licensees [5,225 hours
reporting, or an
[[Page 19792]]
average of 8 hours per response + 31,398 hours recordkeeping, or 114
hours per recordkeeper] and 99,118 hours for Agreement State licensees
[20,863 hours reporting, or an average of 8.3 hours per response +
78,255 hours recordkeeping, or an average of 112 hours per
recordkeeper]).
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 for 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 June 13, 2005, 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?
