The NRC published a Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period on this information collection on May 30, 2008. 1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension. 2. 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). 3.

How often the collection is required: 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 10-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), authorized medical physicist (AMP), authorized nuclear pharmacist (ANP), or authorized user 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 or adding an additional RSO 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 report: All applicants requesting a license, amendment or renewal of a license for byproduct or source material. 7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 15,127 (2,365 NRC licensees and 12,762 Agreement State licensees). 8.

An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 65,224 hours (10,205 NRC and 55,019 Agreement State 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.

New Automation Requirements for Detached Address Labels
Document Number: E8-19803
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2008-08-27
Agency: Postal Service, Agencies and Commissions
The Postal Service proposes revisions to the Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM[supreg]) for detached address labels (DALs). To increase efficiency and reduce handling costs, we propose that DALs accompanying saturation mailings of Periodicals or Standard Mail[supreg] flats must be automation- compatible and have a correct delivery point POSTNETTM barcode or Intelligent Mail[supreg] barcode with an 11-digit routing code. This proposal would not apply to DALs with simplified addresses. To be consistent with the current requirement for return addresses, we are proposing to add DALs to DMM 602.1.5.3, Required Use of Return Address.
