Documents Containing Reporting or Recordkeeping Requirements:
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review
AGENCY: 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).
1. Type of submission: Revision.
2. The title of the information collection: ``10 CFR Part 35,
Medical Use of Byproduct Material--Recognition of Specialty Boards,
Proposed Rule and Burden Revision to NRC Form 313A, Training and
Experience and Preceptor Statement.''
3. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 313A.
4. How often the collection is required: Part 35--one-time only;
NRC Form 313A--upon application or amendment to a license.
5. Who will be required or asked to report: Specialty boards
requesting the NRC to recognize their certification processes or
recognized boards responding to NRC requests for information when being
considered for delisting and materials licensees permitting board-
certified individuals to work as radiation safety officers, authorized
medical physicists, authorized nuclear pharmacists, or authorized
users.
6. An estimate of the number of responses: 857.
7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 857.
8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to
complete the requirement or request:
10 CFR Part 35--341 reporting hours (0.4 hours per response); NRC
Form 313A--889 recordkeeping hours (1.0 hours per individual).
9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13
applies: Applicable.
10. Abstract: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing
to amend its regulations governing the medical use of byproduct
material to change its requirements for recognition of specialty boards
whose certifications may be used to demonstrate the adequacy of the
training and experience of individuals to serve as radiation safety
officers, authorized medical physicists, authorized nuclear pharmacists
or authorized users. The proposed rule would also revise the
requirements for demonstrating the adequacy of training and experience
for pathways other than the board certification pathway. This
rulemaking is necessary to address the training and experience issue
for recognition of specialty board certifications.

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?
