Abstract: Final Rule, 10 CFR Parts 30, 31, 32, 40 and 70, Requirements for Distribution of Byproduct Material. The NRC is amending its regulations to make requirements for distributors of byproduct material clearer, less prescriptive, and more risk-informed and up to date. The Commission is also redefining categories of devices to be used under exemptions, adding explicit provisions regarding the sealed source and device registration process, and adding flexibility to the licensing of users of sealed sources and devices. This action is primarily intended to make licensing processes more efficient and effective. These changes will affect manufacturers and distributors of sources and devices containing byproduct material and future users of some products currently used under a general or specific license.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This final rule will result in an overall burden increase of 951 hours of which 957 hours is for 10 CFR Part 32, along with a decrease of 6 hours for NRC Form 313. It will impact NRC and Agreement State licensees. The burden for 10 CFR Part 32 will increase by 957 hours (Reporting -351 hours + Recordkeeping - 606 hours), while the reporting burden for NRC Form 313 will decrease by 6 hours. This rulemaking is expected to improve efficiency and effectiveness while continuing to ensure safety, without a significant increase in the information collection burden. The new exemption from licensing in Section 30.22 does not contain an information collection, but will allow for the use of numerous products without a license or any other regulatory requirements on the users of these products in the future. Much of the increased burden is a result of distributors voluntarily obtaining additional licenses and registration certificates in order for their products to be used under an exemption from licensing requirements, and subsequently labeling these products for their users.
