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: Title 10 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (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: 3,197 [2,637 reporting 
+ 252 recordkeepers + 308 third-party recordkeepers].
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 617 (180 NRC 
licenses, registration certificate holder, and 437 Agreement States 
licensees and registration certificate holders).
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 66,585 (18,405 reporting 
+ 1,112 recordkeeping + 47,068 third-party).
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 32, 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?
    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?

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 28th day of March 2019.
