II. Background
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to
request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized
below.
1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 32,
``Specific Domestic Licenses to Manufacture or Transfer Certain Items
Containing Byproduct Material.''
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0001.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 653, NRC Form 653A, and
NRC Form 653B.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: There is a
one-time submittal of information to receive a certificate of
registration for a sealed source and/or device. Certificates of
registration for sealed sources and/or devices can be amended at any
time. In addition, licensee recordkeeping must be performed on an on-
going basis, and reporting of transfer of byproduct material must be
reported every calendar year, and in some cases, every calendar
quarter.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: All specific licensees
who manufacture or initially transfer items containing byproduct
material for sale or distribution to general licensees, or persons
exempt from licensing, medical use product distributors to specific
licensees, and those requesting a certificate of registration for a
sealed source and/or device.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 4,036 (2,807 NRC,
1,176 Agreement States and 53 third-party).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 713 (204 NRC
licensees, registration certificate holders and 509 Agreement State
licensees and registration certificate holders).
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 162,393 (13,139
reporting hours, 149,176 recordkeeping hours, and 78 third-party
disclosures hours).
10. Abstract: Part 32 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), 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, medical use product distributors to
specific licensees, and those requesting a certificate of registration
for a sealed source and/or device. 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
certificate of registration for a sealed source and/or device, records
which must be kept, reports which must be submitted, and information
which must be forwarded to general licensees and persons exempt from
licensing. As mentioned, 10 CFR part 32 also 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 the NRC to make licensing and
other regulatory determinations concerning the use of radioactive
byproduct material in products and devices.
III. Specific Requests for Comments
The NRC is seeking 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 estimate of the burden of the information collection
accurate?
3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected?
[[Page 54598]]
4. How can the burden of the information collection on respondents
be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology?
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of Information Services.
