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 is
essentially unchanged from the previous reporting (i.e., the
current estimated burden is 164,608 and the previous burden was
164,540); however, the various elements that comprise this estimate
have changed and the most significant are noted here: a. For
Section 32.29(b), there was a decrease in the number of
recordkeepers by 5 from 22 to 17 and the corresponding burden by
1,350 hours from 5,940 to 4,590 hours. The current estimate is
based on the number of NRC licensees to which the requirements in
this section apply. b. For Section 32.32(b), there is a decrease in
the number of recordkeepers by 3 from 6 to 3 and the corresponding
burden by 300 hours from 600 to 300 hours. The current estimate is
based on the number of NRC licensees to which the requirements in
this section apply. c. For Section 32.51(a)(3)-(5) and 32.51a(d),
there is a decrease in the number of recordkeepers by 15 from 68 to
53 and the corresponding burden by 628 hours from 3,299 to 2,671
hours. The current estimate is based on the number of NRC licensees
to which the requirements in this section apply. A ratio of 6.6
(A/S to NRC licensees) was used to estimate the burden for A/S
licensees. d. For Section 32.51a(a)&(b), the estimated Hours
Per Recordkeeper for was revised upward from 1.3 to 48.5 to bring
the estimate in line with the estimated amount of time necessary to
fulfill the requirement. The Number of Recordkeepers for the NRC
licensees in this category decreased by 2 to 7 based on the current
number of NRC licensees to which the requirement applies. These two
factors resulted in a net increase in burden hours for these
categories for NRC licensees of 328 from 12 to 340. In this
category, for Agreement State licensees, the burden hours increased
by 2,142 from 89 to 2,231. e. For Section 32.72(a)(4), there was an
increase in the number of recordkeepers by 8 from 334 to 342 and
the corresponding burden by 3,120 hours from 130,260 to 133,380
hours. The current estimate is based on the number of NRC licensees
to which the requirements in Section 32.72(a)(4) apply. An
estimated ratio of 6.6 (A/S to NRC licensees) was used to estimate
the burden for A/S licensees. f. For Section 32.210, there was a
decrease in the 1.) number of respondents by 128 from 360 to 232;
2.) number of responses by 140 from 720 to 580; and 3.) burden by
2,940 hours from 15,120 to 12,180 hours. The current estimate is
based on the average number of 32.210 cases processed by the NRC
from 2010 to 2015. A ratio of 4.8 (A/S to NRC cases) was used to
estimate the burden for A/S licensees and registration certificate
holders. It should be noted that there was a change in the cost
because the hourly rate decreased from $274 to $268. It should also
be noted that the burden for various requirements on the labeling
of products that were previously reported under Recordkeeping are
now reported under Third-Party Disclosure because this category is
more appropriate for these requirements [i.e., 32.15(d), 32.19(c),
32.19(d), 32.21a, 32.25(b), 32.29(b), 32.32(b), 32.51(a)(3)-(5),
32.51a(d), 32.54(a)&(b), 32.58, 32.61(d), 32.71(c), 32.71(d),
32.71(e), 32.72(a)(4), and 32.74(a)(3)].
