The form number, if applicable: N/A 5. How often the collection is required or requested: Reports of medical events, doses to an embryo/fetus or nursing child, or leaking source are reportable on occurrence.

Who will be required or asked to respond: 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 NRC. 7. The estimated number of annual responses: 276,359 ((NRC: 36,313 + 962 recordkeepers = 37,275) + (Agreement States: 232,925 + 6,157 recordkeepers + 2 specialty certification entity = 239,084)). 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 7,121(NRC: 962 + Agreement states 6,157+ 2 specialty certification entities). 9.

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 therefrom to humans for medical use. These requirements also provide voluntary provisions for specialty boards to apply to have their certification processes recognized by the NRC so that their board certified individuals can use the certifications as proof of training and experience.

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? 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?
