II. 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, ``NRC 
Form 313, `Application for Materials License' and NRC Forms 313A (RSO), 
313A (AMP), 313A (ANP), 313A (AUD), 313A (AUT), and 313A (AUS).'' 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 13, 2019, 84 FR 3834.
    1. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 313, 
``Application for Materials License'' and NRC Forms 313A (RSO), 313A 
(AMP), 313A (ANP), 313A (AUD), 313A (AUT), and 313A (AUS).
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0120.
    3. Type of submission: Revision.
    4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 313, ``Application for 
Materials License'' and NRC Forms 313A (RSO), 313A (AMP), 313A (ANP), 
313A (AUD), 313A (AUT), and 313A (AUS).
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: There is a 
one-time submittal of the NRC Form 313 (which may include the NRC Form 
313A series of forms) with information to receive a license. Once a 
specific license has been issued, there is a 15-year resubmittal of the 
NRC Form 313 (which may include the NRC form 313A series of forms) with 
information for renewal of the license. Amendment requests are 
submitted as needed by the licensee. There is a one-time submittal for 
all limited specific medical use applicants of a NRC Form 313A series 
form to have each new individual identified as a Radiation Safety 
Officer (RSO) or Associate Radiation Safety Officer (ARSO) [NRC Form 
313A (RSO)], authorized medical physicist or ophthalmic physicist [NRC 
Form 313A (AMP)], authorized nuclear pharmacist [NRC Form 313A (ANP)], 
or authorized user [NRC Form 313A (AUD), NRC Form 313A (AUS), or NRC 
Form 313A (AUT)] or a subsequent submittal of additional information 
for one of these individuals to be identified with a new authorization 
on a limited specific medical use license.
    NRC Form 313A (RSO) is also used by medical broad scope licensees 
when identifying a new individual as an RSO, a new individual as an 
ARSO, adding an additional RSO authorization, or adding an additional 
ARSO authorization for the individual. This submittal may occur when 
applying for a new license, amendment, or renewal.
    NRC Form 313A (ANP) is also used by commercial nuclear pharmacy 
licensees when requesting an individual be identified for the first 
time as ANP. This submittal may occur when applying for a new license, 
amendment, or renewal.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: All applicants 
requesting a license, amendment or renewal of a license for byproduct 
or source material.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: The number of annual 
respondents: 8,904 (1,049 NRC licensees and 7,231 Agreement State 
licensees + 624 Third party responses).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: The number of annual 
respondents: 8,904 (1,049 NRC licensees and 7,231 Agreement State 
licensees + 624 third party respondents).
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 35,634 (4,510 NRC and 
31,093 Agreement State hours + 31 third party hours).
    10. Abstract: Applicants must submit NRC Form 313, which may 
include the six forms in the 313A series, to obtain a specific license 
to possess, use, or distribute byproduct or source material. These six 
forms in the 313A series are: (1) NRC Form 313A (RSO), ``Radiation 
Safety Officer or Associate Radiation Safety Officer Training, 
Experience and Preceptor Attestation [10 CFR 35.57, 35.50]''; (2) NRC 
Form 313A (AMP), ``Authorized Medical Physicist or Ophthalmic 
Physicist, Training, Experience and Preceptor Attestation [10 CFR 
35.51, 35.57(a)(3), and 35.433''; (3) NRC Form 313A (ANP), ``Authorized 
Nuclear Pharmacist Training, Experience, and Preceptor Attestation 10 
CFR 35.55''; (4) NRC Form 313A (AUD), ``Authorized User Training, 
Experience and Preceptor Attestation (for uses defined under 35.100, 
35.200, and 35.500) 10 CFR 35.57, 35.190, 35.290, and 35.590''; (5) NRC 
Form 313A (AUT), ``Authorized User Training, Experience, and Preceptor 
Attestation (for uses defined under 35.300) 10 CFR 35.57, 35.390, 
35.392, 35.394, and 35.396''; and (6) NRC Form 313A (AUS), ``Authorized 
User Training, Experience and Preceptor Attestation (for uses defined 
under 35.400 and 35.600) 10 CFR 35.57, 35.490, 35.491, and 35.690.'' 
The NRC Form 313A series of forms requires preceptor attestations for 
certain individuals. The preceptor attestation is provided by a third 
party and not an applicant or licensee. The information is reviewed by 
the NRC to determine whether the applicant is qualified by training and 
experience, and has equipment, facilities, and procedures which are 
adequate to protect the public health and safety and minimize danger to 
life or property.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of May 2019.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
