NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2012-0230]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) invites public
comment about our intention to request the OMB's approval for renewal
of an existing information collection that is summarized below. We are
required to publish this notice in the Federal Register under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter
35).
Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 32--
``Specific Domestic Licenses to Manufacture or Transfer Certain Items
Containing Byproduct Material.''
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0001.
3. How often the collection is required: 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.
4. Who is required or asked to report: 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.
5. The number of annual respondents: 959 (246 NRC licensees and
registration certificate holders and 713 Agreement State licensees and
registration certificate holders).
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 164,540 (16,346 reporting hours, 148,093 recordkeeping
hours, and 101 third-party disclosures hours).
7. Abstract: Part 32 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR), 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.
Submit, by January 22, 2013, 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 burden estimate accurate?
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 be minimized,
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology?
