NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

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

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information 
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (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 ongoing basis, and reporting of transfer of byproduct material 
must be reported every calendar year, and in some cases, every calendar 
quarter.
    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 number of annual respondents: 474 (158 NRC licensees and 316 
Agreement State licensees).
    6. An estimate of the number of responses annually: 474 (158 for 
NRC licensees and 316 for Agreement State licensees).
    7. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 98,477 (29,900 hours for NRC licensees [233 hours 
reporting, or an average of 0.45 hour per response + 29,667 hours 
recordkeeping, or 86 hours per record keeper] and 68,577 hours for 
Agreement State licensees [339 hours reporting, or an average of 0.5 
hours per response + 68,238 hours recordkeeping, or an average of 114 
hours per record keeper]).
    8. 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, 2008, 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?
