NRC Form 4 is used to record the
summary of an individual's cumulative occupational radiation dose
up to and including the current year to ensure that the dose does
not exceed regulatory limits.
The Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) amended its regulations to include jurisdiction
over discrete sources of radium-226, accelerator-produced
radioactive materials, and discrete sources of naturally occurring
radioactive material, as required by the Energy Policy Act of 2005
(EPAct), which was signed into law on August 8, 2005. This provides
a regulatory framework by which to license and regulate byproduct
material in accordance with the new, expanded definition. The
amended regulations impacted numerous existing information
collections. The NRC packaged all of the impacted information
collections into one new information collection which OMB approved
and assigned control number 3150-0203. The clearance affecting this
83-C is NRC Form 4, Cumulative Occupational Exposure History,
which is currently covered under OMB Clearance 3150-0005. This form
is used by licensees to maintain a cumulative summary of personnel
occupational exposure history. The purpose of this 83-C is to
transfer burden from OMB Clearance 3150-0203, 10 CFR Parts 20, 30,
31, 32, & 35, Requirements for Expanded Definition of Byproduct
Material, Final Rule and NRC Forms 4, 5, 313, 314, & 664, to
OMB Clearance 3150-0005, Cumulative Occupational Exposure
History, which was contained in the final approved on 8/23/07.
Once the entire burden for 3150-0203 has been transferred to the
correct clearances, we will submit an 83-D to discontinue
3150-0203. A total of 21 hours will be transferred to 3150-0005,
resulting in a revised burden of 64 hours.
