Section 31.11 of 10 CFR establishes a
general license authorizing any physician, clinical laboratory,
veterinarian in the practice of veterinary medicine, or hospital to
possess certain small quantities of byproduct material for in vitro
clinical or laboratory tests not involving the internal or external
administration of the byproduct material or the radiation there
from to human beings or animals. Possession of byproduct material
under 10 CFR 31.11 is not authorized until the physician, clinical
laboratory, veterinarian in the practice of veterinary medicine, or
hospital has filed NRC Form 483 and received from the Commission a
validated copy of NRC Form 483 with a registration number.
The overall hourly burden
estimate has increased slightly by 0.44 burden hours from 12.43
burden hours to 13 burden hours. The NRC Form 483 is expected to
remain steady during the next 3 years. The total hourly burden has
not significantly changed from the previously reported to the OMB
in 2008. The number of registration certificates submitted by NRC
licensees has decreased by 8 from 15 certificates to 7
certificates, a reduction of approximately one hour (8 certificates
x 8 minutes x 1 hour/60 minutes = 1.07 hours). However, the number
of registration certificates submitted by Agreement State licensees
has increased by 10 from 70 certificates to 80, an increase of 1.3
hours (10 certificates x 8 minutes x 1 hour/60 minutes = 1.33
hours). In addition, the recordkeeping burden has increased by 0.04
from 1.13 to 1.17 hours. As a result, the overall change in burden
is an increase of 0.3 hours (1.33 hours + 0.04 hours - 1.07hours).
All estimates are based on the most recent three years of data. Due
to additional states becoming Agreement States, there are fewer NRC
licensees and more Agreement State licensees. The NRC continues to
receive approximately the same number of registration certificates
per year; however, more are being submitted by Agreement State
licensees and fewer are being submitted by NRC licensees than in
the past. The estimated burden cost since the last OMB approval of
this package has increased by 35 from $238 to $273/hour, due to an
increase in the hourly fee rate.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
