Part 32 of Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), establishes requirements for specific
licenses for the introduction of byproduct material into products
or materials and transfer of the products or materials to general
licensees, or persons exempt from licensing, medical use product
distributors to specific licensees, and those requesting a
certificate of registration for a sealed source and/or device. It
also prescribes requirements governing holders of the specific
licenses. Some of the requirements are for information which must
be submitted in an application for a certificate of registration
for a sealed source and/or device, records which must be kept,
reports which must be submitted, and information which must be
forwarded to general licensees and persons exempt from licensing.
As mentioned, 10 CFR Part 32 also prescribes requirements for the
issuance of certificates of registration (concerning radiation
safety information about a product) to manufacturers or initial
transferors of sealed sources and devices. Submission or retention
of the information is mandatory for persons subject to the 10 CFR
Part 32 requirements. The information is used by the NRC to make
licensing and other regulatory determinations concerning the use of
radioactive byproduct material in products and devices.
The overall burden has
decreased by 2,921 hours from 167,461 to 164,540 hours due to the
following: a. The estimated ratio of the number Agreement State
licensees to NRC licensees increased from 3.6 to 6.6 to more
accurately reflect current data in the License Tracking System and
Agreement State data. The ratio change occurred, in part, as a
result of New Jersey and Virginia becoming Agreement States;
however, neither State assumed responsibility to perform
implementation of 10 CFR 32.210, and therefore, this function
remained with the NRC licensees. b. As of a result of the increased
Agreement State licensee to NRC licensee ratio, the total number of
recordkeepers has increased from 665 to 1,230. c. There is an
increase in the number of respondents for Section 32.210 by 136
respondents from 224 to 360; the number of responses by 272 from
448 to 720 responses; and the burden by 5,712 hours from 9,408 to
15,120 hours. This increase is based on the current number of
actions processed in the past 2 years and using an estimated ratio
of 4.8, resulting in an overall burden increase for this section of
an estimated 2,921 hours. There was a change in overall burden cost
because the hourly rate increased from $238 to $274.
