Proposed Collection, Comment
Request
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be

properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed revision of the
‘‘Telephone Point of Purchase Survey.’’
A copy of the proposed information
collection request (ICR) can be obtained
by contacting the individual listed
below in the ADDRESSES section of this
notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice on or
before September 6, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Amy A.
Hobby, BLS Clearance Officer, Division
of Management Systems, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 2
Massachusetts Avenue, NE.,
Washington, DC 20212, telephone
number 202–691–7628. (This is not a
toll free number.)
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Amy A. Hobby, BLS Clearance Officer,
telephone number 202–691–7628. (See
ADDRESSES section.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The purpose of this survey is to
develop and maintain a timely list of
retail, wholesale, and service
establishments where urban consumers
shop for specified items. This
information is used as the sampling
universe for selecting establishments at
which prices of specific items are
collected and monitored for use in
calculating the Consumer Price Index
(CPI). The survey has been ongoing
since 1980 and also provides
expenditure data that allows items that
are priced in the CPI to be properly
weighted.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the
Telephone Point of Purchase Survey
(TPOPS).
Since 1997, the survey has been
administered quarterly via a computerassisted-telephone-interview. This
survey is flexible and creates the
possibility of introducing new products
into the CPI in a timely manner. The
data collected in this survey are
necessary for the continuing
construction of a current outlet universe
from which locations are selected for
the price collection needed for
calculating the CPI. Furthermore, the
TPOPS provides the weights used in
selecting the items that are priced at
these establishments. This sample
design produces an overall CPI market
basket that is more reflective of the
prices faced and the establishments
visited by urban consumers.

For this clearance, the BLS and the
Census Bureau have completed a
sample redesign based on the 2000
Census to be implemented for the
TPOPS in 2006. While the new sample
is introduced, there will be some
overlap of old and new samples in some
primary sampling units (PSUs) or areas
in which TPOPS data are collected. In
addition, each new PSU will have an
increased sample to be able to field a
full outlet sample to collect prices for
the CPI.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is
particularly interested in comments
that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Agency: Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Title: Telephone Point of Purchase
Survey.
OMB Number: 1220–0044.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Total Respondents: 22,627.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Total Responses: 59,964.
Average Time Per Response: 12
minutes.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 11,993
hours.
Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):
$0.
Total Burden Cost (operating/
maintenance): $0.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of
information collection and solicitation
of public comment.
AGENCY:
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 current 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
Domestic Licenses to Manufacture or
Transfer Certain Items Containing
Byproduct Material.
3. The form number if applicable:
NRC Form 653, 653A,and 653B,
‘‘Transfers of Industrial Devices
Report.’’
4. 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 5 years, and in a few cases, every
year.
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: 4147 (650 responses + 275
recordkeepers for NRC licensees and
2522 responses + 700 recordkeepers for
Agreement State licensees).
7. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 975 (275 NRC licensees
and 700 Agreement State licensees).
SUMMARY:
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
8. An estimate of the number of hours
needed annually to complete the
requirement or request: 135,741 (36,623
hours for NRC licensees [5,225 hours
reporting, or an average of 8 hours per
response + 31,398 hours recordkeeping,
or 114 hours per recordkeeper] and
99,118 hours for Agreement State
licensees [20,863 hours reporting, or an
average of 8.3 hours per response +
78,255 hours recordkeeping, or an
average of 112 hours per recordkeeper]).
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 NRC to make licensing and other
regulatory determinations concerning
the use of radioactive byproduct
material in products and devices.
