OMB continues to
have concerns with the practical utility of this collection of
information. We also understand that the NRC is undertaking its own
review of the Part 35 rules to address concerns raised by the
National Academy of Sciences, Congressional appropriations
committee, and other interested parties. Therefore, we are
approving this ICR for one year pending the outcome of the NRC
review. Although the NRC is unlikely to complete revisions to its
regulations in that time, it may have some suggestions for interim
measures to reduce the burden of this program at that time. In
particular, the NRC should examine whether data obtainable from
other sources (e.g. The Food and Drug Administration) can be used
to meet the NRC's objectives. The NRC should also include in future
submissions of this ICR an estimate of the burden associated with
the inspection of licensee facilities (to the extent such
inspections continue to be a part of the program). Note: The change
in burden estimate for this ICR reflects an increase in NRC's
estimate of burden of 31,912 hours and a correction of an OMB
clerical error.

NRC requires licensees to implement a
quality management program to provide high confidence that
