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
[[Page 20072]]
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?
