II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of 
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, ``10 
CFR Part 32, Specific Domestic Licenses to Manufacture or Transfer 
Certain Items Containing Byproduct Material.''
    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.
    The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment 
period on this information collection on April 2, 2019 (84 FR 12643).
    1. The title of the information collection: Title 10 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR), part 32, ``Specific Domestic Licenses to 
Manufacture or Transfer Certain Items Containing Byproduct Material.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0001.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 653, NRC Form 653A, and 
NRC Form 653B.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: 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.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: 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.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 3,197 [2,637 reporting 
+ 252 recordkeepers + 308 third-party recordkeepers].
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 617 (180 NRC 
licenses, registration certificate holder, and 437 Agreement States 
licensees and registration certificate holders).
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 66,585 
(18,405 reporting + 1,112 recordkeeping + 47,068 third-party).
    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, 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.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 11th day of July, 2019.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
