Applicants must submit NRC Form 313, which may include the six forms in the 313A series, to obtain a specific license to possess, use, or distribute byproduct or source material. These six forms in the 313A series are: (1) NRC Form 313A (RSO), ââRadiation Safety Officer or Associate Radiation Safety Officer Training, Experience and Preceptor Attestation [10 CFR 35.57, 35.50]ââ; (2) NRC Form 313A (AMP), ââAuthorized Medical Physicist or Ophthalmic Physicist, Training, Experience and Preceptor Attestation [10 CFR 35.51, 35.57(a)(3), and 35.433ââ; (3) NRC Form 313A (ANP), ââAuthorized Nuclear Pharmacist Training, Experience, and Preceptor Attestation 10 CFR 35.55ââ; (4) NRC Form 313A (AUD), ââAuthorized User Training, Experience and Preceptor Attestation (for uses defined under 35.100, 35.200, and 35.500) 10 CFR 35.57, 35.190 35.290, and 35.590ââ; (5) NRC Form 313A (AUT), ââAuthorized User Training, Experience, and Preceptor Attestation (for uses defined under 35.300) 10 CFR 35.57, 35.390, 35.392, 35.394 , and 35.396ââ; and (6) NRC Form 313A (AUS), ââAuthorized User Training, Experience and Preceptor Attestation (for uses defined under 35.400 and 35.600) 10 CFR 35.57, 35.490, 35.491, and 35.690.ââ The NRC Form 313A series of forms requires preceptor attestations for certain individuals. The preceptor attestation is provided by a third party and not an applicant or licensee. The information is reviewed by the NRC to determine whether the applicant is qualified by training and experience, and has equipment, facilities, and procedures which are adequate to protect the public health and safety and minimize danger to life or property.

The estimated burden has increased from 49,359 hours and 12,222 responses to 39,891 hours and 18,995 responses, a decrease of 9,468 hours and and increase of 6,773 responses. Burden differences are seen as 1) an increase in form 313 use, and 2) a decrease in effort per amendment, and 3) an increase in the number of licensee submissions to the regulator.
The NRC staff has reduced the estimated burden to submit amendments from 4.3 hours to 2 hours due to amendments not requiring pre-licensing work. However, there has been an increase in the number of estimated Agreement State amendments from 6,862 to 8,495, resulting in an overall increase in the number of responses. The increase in licensing actions resulted from an increase in the number of licensees.
Furthermore, the NRC has implemented a process to reduce inefficient paperwork through an online submission portal for Materials License Applications. Screenshots for the portal have been included in this submission. The online submission portal will allow NRC material licensees to submit licensing actions directly to the Web-based Licensing (WBL) system. This aims to reduce reliance on email, mailed, and faxed submissions. This online portal aims to improve the speed and accuracy of data transition to WBL. This clearance assumes the online application submission portal does not affect the burden or cost estimates for this effort calculation.
