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: 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
[[Page 19536]]
Agreement States licensees and registration certificate holders).
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?
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?
