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:
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?
