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 the Office of Management and Budget (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 Materials License'' and NRC Forms 313A (RSO), 
313A(AMP), 313A(ANP), 313A(AUD), 313A(AUT), and 313A(AUS).
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0120.
    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, 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.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: All applicants requesting a 
license, amendment or renewal of a license for byproduct or source 
material.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 15,122 (2,364 NRC licensees 
and 12,758 Agreement State licensees).
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 65,308 (10,289 hours for NRC licensees and 55,019 hours for 
Agreement State licensees).
    7. 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. These six 
forms in the 313A series are: (1) NRC Form 313A(RSO), ``Radiation 
Safety Officer Training and Experience and Preceptor Attestation;'' (2) 
NRC Form 313A(AMP), ``Authorized Medical Physicist Training and 
Experience and Preceptor Attestation;'' (3) NRC Form 313A(ANP), 
``Authorized Nuclear Pharmacist Training and Experience and Preceptor 
Attestation;'' (4) NRC Form 313A(AUD), ``Authorized User Training and 
Experience and Preceptor Attestation (for uses defined under 35.100, 
35.200, and 35.500);'' (5) NRC Form 313A(AUT), ``Authorized User 
Training and Experience and Preceptor Attestation (for uses defined 
under 35.300);'' and (6) NRC Form 313A(AUS), ``Authorized User Training 
and Experience and Preceptor Attestation (for uses defined under 35.400 
and 35.600).'' 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, and minimize danger to life or property.
    Submit, by July 29, 2008, 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?
    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?
