Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of 
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, ``10 
CFR part 35, Medical Use of Byproduct Material.'' The NRC hereby 
informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or 
sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a collection 
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment 
period on this information collection on February 1, 2017 (82 FR 8959).
    1. The title of the information collection: ``10 CFR part 35, 
Medical Use of Byproduct Material.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0010.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. 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. A specialty board certifying 
entity desiring to be recognized by the NRC must submit a one-time 
request for recognition and infrequently revise the information.
    6. 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 the 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. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 
1,073,224 hours (NRC Licensees 145,195 hrs. + Agreement States 928,027 
hrs. + specialty certifying entities 2 hrs.).
    10. 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.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 23rd day of May 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
