NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

AGENCY: 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 32, 
``Specific

[[Page 15314]]
Domestic Licenses to Manufacture or Transfer Certain Items Containing 
Byproduct Material.''
    3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    4. How often the collection is required: There is a one-time 
submittal of information to receive a license. Renewal applications are 
submitted every 5 years. In addition, recordkeeping must be performed 
on an on-going basis, and reports of transfer of byproduct material 
must be reported every 5 years.
    5. Who will be 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.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 5,462 responses from NRC 
licensees and 8,039 responses from Agreement State licensees.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 265 NRC licensees 
and 333 Agreement State licensees.
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 53,333 hours or 201 hours per NRC 
licensee and 95,307 hours or 286 hours per Agreement State licensee. 
The difference in individual licensee burden between NRC and Agreement 
States is due to the fact that a higher percentage of the Agreement 
State licensees are nuclear pharmacies, which have a large 
recordkeeping burden because of the labeling requirements for 
radiopharmaceuticals.
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    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. 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 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 
the NRC to make licensing and other regulatory determinations 
concerning the use of radioactive byproduct material in products and 
devices.
    A copy of the submittal may be viewed free of charge at the NRC 
Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW., (Lower Level), Washington,
