[Federal Register: July 27, 1999 (Volume 64, Number 143)] [Notices] [Page 40630-40631] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr27jy99-104] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and solicitation of public comment. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: 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 currently valid OMB control number. 1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension. 2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 35, ``Medical Use of Byproduct Material.'' 3. The form number if applicable: None. 4. How often the collection is required: Required reports are collected and evaluated on a continuing basis as needed due to a change in programs or as events occur. 5. Who will be required or asked to report: Physicians and medical institutions who are applicants for, or hold, an NRC license authorizing the administration of byproduct material, or its radiation to humans for medical use. 6. An estimate of the number of responses: 1,907,515 NRC licensee responses and 4,768,739 Agreement State responses annually. 7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 1,891 NRC licensees and 4,728 Agreement State licensees. 8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 369,916 hours for NRC licensees and 924,765 hours for Agreement State licensees, for a total burden of 1,294,681 hours (196 hours per licensee). 9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Public Law 104-13 applies: N/A 10. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 35, ``Medical Use of Byproduct Material,'' contains requirements that apply to NRC licensees who are authorized to administer byproduct material or its radiation to humans for medical use. The information in the required reports and records is used by the NRC to ensure that the health and safety of the public is protected, and that the licensee's possession and use of byproduct material is in compliance with the license and regulatory requirements. The revision is a net decrease adjustment in burden resulting from a decrease in the number of affected licensees.
