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?
