Review; Comment Request
AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). The NRC hereby
informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a collection
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision.
2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 36--
Licenses and Radiation Safety Requirements for Irradiators
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. In addition, recordkeeping must be performed on
an on-going basis, and reports of accidents and other abnormal events
must be reported on an as-necessary basis.
4. Who will be required or asked to report: Irradiators licensed by
NRC or an Agreement State.
5. The number of annual respondents: 32 NRC licensees and 64
Agreement State licensees.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 44,768 (approximately 466 per licensee).
7. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13
applies: Not applicable.
8. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 36 contains requirements for the issuance
of a license authorizing the use of sealed sources containing
radioactive materials in irradiators used to irradiate objects or
materials for a variety of purposes in research, industry, and other
fields. The subparts cover specific requirements for obtaining a
license or license exemption; design and performance criteria for
irradiators; and radiation safety requirements for operating
irradiators, including requirements for operator training, written
operating and emergency procedures, personnel monitoring, radiation
surveys, inspection, and maintenance. Part 36 also contains the
recordkeeping and reporting requirements that are necessary to ensure
that the irradiator is being safely operated so that it poses no danger
to the health and safety of the general public and the irradiator
employees.
