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, 
``Specific Domestic Licenses to Manufacture or Transfer Certain Items 
Containing 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 April 4, 2022 (87 FR 19535).
    1. The title of the information collection: ``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, 653A, 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: 3,038 [2,285 reporting 
+ 349 recordkeepers + 404 third-party recordkeepers].
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 662 (156 NRC 
licenses, registration certificate holder + 506 Agreement States 
licensees and registration certificate holders).
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 109,510 (15,601 
reporting + 1,122 recordkeeping + 92,787 third- party).
    10. Abstract: Part 32 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), ``Specific Domestic Licenses to Manufacture or 
Transfer Certain Items Containing Byproduct Material,'' 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.

    Dated: November 21, 2022.
