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, 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 August 1, 2023, 88 FR 50182.
    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: 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: 313,994 (234,284 
reporting responses + 7,327 recordkeepers + 72,383 third party 
disclosure responses).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 7,340 (862 NRC 
licensees + 6,465 Agreement State licensees + 13 specialty board 
certification entity).
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 1,117,570 hours (61,807 
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.
