S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information collection request to OMB and solicitation of public comment. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of continued approval of information collections 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: NRC Form 313, ``Application for Material License.'' NRC Form 313A, ``Training and Experience.'' NRC Form 313B, ``Preceptor Statement.'' 2. Current OMB Approval Number: 3150-0120. 3. How often the collection is required: There is a one-time submittal of information to receive a license. Once a specific license has been issued, there is a 10-year resubmittal of the information for renewal of the license. Amendments are submitted as needed by the licensee. 4. Who is required or asked to report: All applicants requesting a license, and licensees requesting renewal or amendment of a byproduct or source material license to possess, use, or distribute radioactive material. 5. The number of annual respondents: 17,958 (5,556 NRC licensees and 12,402 Agreement State licensees.) This is the total number of licensees which could potentially submit licensing actions. 6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 66,652 (18,663 hours for NRC licensees and 47,989 hours for Agreement State licensees, an average of about 7.4 hours per response). 7. Abstract: All applicants must submit NRC Form 313 to obtain, renew, or amend a specific license to possess, use, or distribute byproduct or source material. NRC Form 313A, ``Training and Experience,'' and NRC Form 313B, ``Preceptor Statement,'' are used for 10 CFR Part 35, ``Medical Use of Byproduct Material,'' applicants and licensees along with NRC Form 313 to obtain the above information. The information is reviewed by the NRC to determine whether the applicant is qualified by training and experience, and has equipment, facilities, and procedures which are adequate to protect the public health and safety of the public, and minimize danger to life or property. Submit, by May 28, 1999, 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? [[Page 14944]] 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?
