    NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
    
    
    Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
    Comment Request
    
    AGENCY: U.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: 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 license. Renewal applications are 
    submitted every 10 years. In addition, recordkeeping must be performed 
    on an on-going basis, and reports of transfer of byproduct material 
    must be reported every 10 years.
        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.
        5. The number of annual respondents: 265 NRC licensees and 333 
    Agreement State licensees.
        6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
    or request: 53,333 hours or 201.26 hours per NRC licensee and 95,306.9 
    hours or 286.21 hours per Agreement State licensee.
        7. 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. It also prescribes 
    requirements governing holders of the specific licenses. Some of the 
    requirements are information which must be submitted in an application 
    for a specific license, records which must be kept, reports which must 
    be submitted, and information which must be forwarded to general 
    licensees and persons exempt from licensing. In addition, 10 CFR Part 
    32 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 
    NRC to make licensing and other regulatory determinations concerning 
    the use of radioactive byproduct material in products and devices.
        Submit, by May 10, 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?
        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?
