NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. NRC-2013-0221]


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: 10 CFR Part 35, 
``Medical Use of Byproduct Material.''
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0010.
    3. 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 specialty board certification entity 
desiring to be recognized by the NRC must submit a one-time request for 
recognition and infrequently revise the information.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Physicians and medical 
institutions holding an NRC license authorizing the administration of 
byproduct material or radiation from this material to humans for 
medical use. A specialty board certification entity desiring to have 
its certifying process and board certificate recognized by the NRC.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 7,654 (1,034 for NRC Licenses, 
6,618 for Agreement States, and 2 for specialty board certification 
entities).
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 1,057,669 hours (142,892 for NRC Licenses and 914,775 for 
Agreement States + 2 for specialty board certification entities).
    7. 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. Part 35 contains mandatory 
requirements that apply to NRC licensees authorized to administer 
byproduct material or radiation there from to humans for medical use. 
These requirements also provide voluntary provisions for specialty 
boards to apply to have their certification processes recognized by NRC 
so that their board certified individuals can use the certifications as 
proof of training and experience.
    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.
    Submit, by January 7, 2014, 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?
