3
the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to request the OMBs approval for the information collection summarized below.
- 1. The title of the information collection: 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.
- 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, and 506 Agreement States licensees and registration certificate holders).
4
- 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: 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?
5
- 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?
