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: 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 license. Renewal applications are submitted every 10 years. In addition, recordkeeping must be performed on an ongoing 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. 5. The number of annual respondents: 474 (158 NRC licensees and 316 Agreement State licensees). 6. An estimate of the number of responses annually: 474 (158 for NRC licensees and 316 for Agreement State licensees). 7. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 98,477 (29,900 hours for NRC licensees [233 hours reporting, or an average of 0.45 hour per response + 29,667 hours recordkeeping, or 86 hours per record keeper] and 68,577 hours for Agreement State licensees [339 hours reporting, or an average of 0.5 hours per response + 68,238 hours recordkeeping, or an average of 114 hours per record keeper]). 8. 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. Submit, by June 13, 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?
