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: 10 CFR part 35, Medical
Use of Byproduct Material.
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0010.
3. Type of submission: Revision.
4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
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 NRC.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 313,982 (234,272
reporting responses + 7,327 recordkeepers + 72,383 third party
disclosure responses).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 7,328 (862 NRC
licensees + 6,465 Agreement State licensees + 1 specialty board
certification entity).
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 1,117,269 hours (61,506
reporting + 1,043,235 recordkeeping + 12,528 third party disclosure).
10. Abstract: Part 35 of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, ``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 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.
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? Please explain your answer.
2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection
accurate? Please explain your answer.
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?
