NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2011-0227]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
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 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) invites public
comment about our intention to request the OMB's approval for renewal
of an existing information collection that is summarized below. We are
required to publish this notice in the Federal Register 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: NRC Form 313,
``Application for Materials License'' and NRC Forms 313A (RSO), 313A
(AMP), 313A (ANP), 313A (AUD), 313A (AUT), and 313A (AUS).
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0120.
3. How often the collection is required: There is a one-time
submittal of the NRC Form 313 (which may include the NRC Form 313A
series of forms) with information to receive a license. Once a specific
license has been issued, there is a 10-year resubmittal of the NRC Form
313 (which may include the NRC form 313A series of forms) with
information for renewal of the license. Amendment requests are
submitted as needed by the licensee.
There is a one-time submittal for all limited specific medical use
applicants of a NRC Form 313A series form to have each new individual
identified as a Radiation Safety Officer (RSO), authorized medical
physicist (AMP), authorized nuclear pharmacist (ANP), or authorized
user or a subsequent submittal of additional information for one of
these individuals to be identified with a new authorization on a
limited specific medical use license.
NRC Form 313A (RSO) is also used by medical broad scope licensees
when identifying a new individual as an RSO or adding an additional RSO
authorization for the individual. This submittal may occur when
applying for a new license, amendment, or renewal.
NRC Form 313A (ANP) is also used by commercial nuclear pharmacy
licensees when requesting an individual be identified for the first
time as ANP. This submittal may occur when applying for a new license,
amendment, or renewal.
4. Who is required or asked to report: All applicants requesting a
license, amendment or renewal of a license for byproduct or source
material.
5. The number of annual respondents: 19,432 (2,362 NRC licensees
and 17,070 Agreement State licensees).
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 83,558 hours (10,157 NRC and 73,401 Agreement State hours).
7. Abstract: Applicants must submit NRC Form 313, which may include
the six forms in the 313A series, to obtain a specific license to
possess, use, or distribute byproduct or source material. These six
forms in the 313A series are: (1) NRC Form 313A (RSO), ``Radiation
Safety Officer Training and Experience and Preceptor Attestation;'' (2)
NRC Form 313A (AMP), ``Authorized Medical Physicist Training and
Experience and Preceptor Attestation;'' (3) NRC Form 313A (ANP),
``Authorized Nuclear Pharmacist Training and Experience and Preceptor
Attestation;'' (4) NRC Form 313A (AUD), ``Authorized User Training and
Experience and Preceptor Attestation (for uses defined under 35.100,
35.200, and 35.500);'' (5) NRC Form 313A (AUT), ``Authorized User
Training and Experience and Preceptor Attestation (for uses defined
under 35.300);'' and (6) NRC Form 313A (AUS), ``Authorized User
Training and Experience and Preceptor Attestation (for uses defined
under 35.400 and 35.600).'' The information is reviewed by the NRC to
determine whether the applicant is qualified by training and
experience, and has equipment, facilities, and procedures which are
adequate to protect the public health and safety, and minimize danger
to life or property.
Submit, by December 12, 2011, 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?
