SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Women’s Business Council
(NWBC) is a non-partisan federal
advisory council that serves as an
independent source of advice and
counsel to the President, Congress, and
the Small Business Administration on
economic issues of importance to
women business owners. Members of
the Council are prominent women
business owners and leaders of women’s
business organizations.
One of the NWBC’s priorities this year
is to better understand young women
entrepreneurs (ages 18–34) and how
they are the same or different from
young men entrepreneurs and older
women entrepreneurs in their
knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors.
NWBC aims to understand the existing
differences shown through current data
as well as to explore differing
expectations and growth potential
through original research.
NWBC has acquired the services of a
research firm to conduct quantitative
data analysis of existing and available
data to sketch the current state of young
women entrepreneurs and identify any
differences as compared to older women
entrepreneurs and young men
entrepreneurs. The firm would also
conduct in-depth analysis of young
ADDRESSES:
NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
women entrepreneurs in comparison to
their counterparts through original
qualitative research. The qualitative
research would consist of 12 focus
groups with approximately 10
individuals in each group. Questions in
the focus groups will explore
expectations, approaches, barriers and
supports, and growth potential of young
women entrepreneurs and their
counterparts. The outcome of the
research will be a body of evidence and
set of recommendations to support the
growth of businesses owned by young
women entrepreneurs.
The focus groups would commence
with a short questionnaire directed at a
limited number of questions with
defined responses. This questionnaire
would be developed based on the
common themes identified through
previous research. The questionnaire
would be given prior to the start of the
focus groups and would be limited to
completion within 10–15 minutes by
the participants. The cover page of the
questionnaire would include a limited
set of demographics about the person
(e.g. age, gender, entrepreneur field,
year first became entrepreneur). All
questionnaires will be coded with a
random participant identification
number, so that no names or identifiers
will be included on the questionnaire.
The focus groups will be no longer than
2 hours in length in total from start to
finish, and no more than 10 participants
will be involved in any of the focus
groups. Focus groups would likely be
gender- and age-specific and would be
held using remote communication tools
to manage time and cost.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC–2012–0230]
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
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.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) invites public
comment about our intention to request
the OMB’s approval for renewal of an
existing information collection that is
summarized below. We are required to
publish this notice in the Federal
Register 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: 10 CFR Part 32—‘‘Specific
Domestic Licenses to Manufacture or
Transfer Certain Items Containing
Byproduct Material.’’
2. Current OMB approval number:
3150–0001.
3. How often the collection is
required: There is a one-time submittal
of information to receive a certificate of
registration for a sealed source and/or
device. Certificates of registration for
sealed sources and/or devices can be
amended at any time. In addition,
licensee recordkeeping must be
performed on an on-going basis, and
reporting of transfer of byproduct
material must be reported every
calendar year, and in some cases, every
calendar quarter.
4. Who is 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, medical
use product distributors to specific
licensees, and those requesting a
certificate of registration for a sealed
source and/or device.
5. The number of annual respondents:
959 (246 NRC licensees and registration
certificate holders and 713 Agreement
wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with

State licensees and registration
certificate holders).
6. The number of hours needed
annually to complete the requirement or
request: 164,540 (16,346 reporting
hours, 148,093 recordkeeping hours,
and 101 third-party disclosures hours).
7. Abstract: Part 32 of Title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR),
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, medical
use product distributors to specific
licensees, and those requesting a
certificate of registration for a sealed
source and/or device. 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 certificate of registration for a sealed
source and/or device, records which
must be kept, reports which must be
submitted, and information which must
be forwarded to general licensees and
persons exempt from licensing. As
mentioned, 10 CFR Part 32 also
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.
Submit, by January 22, 2013,
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?
