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: NRC Form 313,
``Application for Materials License'' and NRC Forms 313A (RSO), 313A
(AMP), 313A (ANP), 313A (AUD), 313A (AUT), and 313A (AUS).
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0120.
3. Type of submission: Revision.
4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 313, ``Application for
Materials License'' and NRC Forms 313A (RSO), 313A (AMP), 313A (ANP),
313A (AUD), 313A (AUT), and 313A (AUS).
5. How often the collection is required or requested: There is a
one-time submittal of the NRC Form 313 (which may include the NRC Form
313A series of forms) with information to receive a license. Once a
specific license has been issued, there is a 15-year resubmittal of the
NRC Form 313 (which may include the NRC form 313A series of forms) with
information for renewal of the license. Amendment requests are
submitted as needed by the licensee. There is a one-time submittal for
all limited specific medical use applicants of a NRC Form 313A series
form to have each new individual identified as a Radiation Safety
Officer (RSO) or Associate Radiation Safety Officer (ARSO) [NRC Form
313A (RSO)], authorized medical physicist or ophthalmic physicist [NRC
Form 313A (AMP)], authorized nuclear pharmacist [NRC Form 313A (ANP)],
or authorized user [NRC Form 313A (AUD), NRC Form 313A (AUS), or NRC
Form 313A (AUT)] or a subsequent submittal of additional information
for one of these individuals to be identified with a new authorization
on a limited specific medical use license. NRC Form 313A (RSO) is also
used by medical broad scope licensees when identifying a new individual
as an RSO, a new individual as an ARSO, adding an additional RSO
authorization, or adding an additional ARSO authorization for the
individual. This submittal may occur when applying for a new license,
amendment, or renewal. NRC Form 313A (ANP) is also used by commercial
nuclear pharmacy licensees when requesting an individual be identified
for the first time as ANP. This submittal may occur when applying for a
new license, amendment, or renewal.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: All applicants
requesting a license, amendment or renewal of a license for byproduct
or source material.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 12,222 (1,174 NRC
licensees + 10,296 Agreement States licensees + 752 Third Party
respondents).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 12,222 (1,174 NRC
licensees + 10,296 Agreement States licensees + 752 Third Party
respondents).
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 49,359 (5,053 NRC
licensee hours + 44,306 Agreement States licensee hours).
10. Abstract: Applicants must submit NRC Form 313, which may
include the six forms in the 313A series, to obtain a specific license
to possess, use, or distribute byproduct or source material. These six
forms in the 313A series are: (1) NRC Form 313A (RSO), ``Radiation
Safety Officer or Associate Radiation Safety Officer Training,
Experience and Preceptor Attestation [10 CFR 35.57, 35.50]''; (2) NRC
Form 313A (AMP), ``Authorized Medical Physicist or Ophthalmic
Physicist, Training, Experience and Preceptor Attestation [10 CFR
35.51, 35.57(a)(3), and 35.433''; (3) NRC Form 313A (ANP), ``Authorized
Nuclear Pharmacist Training, Experience, and Preceptor Attestation 10
CFR 35.55''; (4) NRC Form 313A (AUD), ``Authorized User Training,
Experience and Preceptor Attestation (for uses defined under 35.100,
35.200, and 35.500) 10 CFR 35.57, 35.190 35.290, and 35.590''; (5) NRC
Form 313A (AUT), ``Authorized User Training, Experience, and Preceptor
Attestation (for uses defined under 35.300) 10 CFR 35.57, 35.390,
35.392, 35.394, and 35.396''; and (6) NRC Form 313A (AUS), ``Authorized
User Training, Experience and Preceptor Attestation (for uses defined
under 35.400 and 35.600) 10 CFR 35.57, 35.490, 35.491, and 35.690.''
The NRC Form 313A series of forms requires preceptor attestations for
certain individuals. The preceptor attestation is
[[Page 52034]]
provided by a third party and not an applicant or licensee. 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 and minimize danger to life or property.
III. Specific Requests for Comments

accurate? Please explain your response.
3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
