Short Statement: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) amended its regulations to include jurisdiction over discrete sources of radium-226, accelerator-produced radioactive materials, and discrete sources of naturally occurring radioactive material, as required by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), which was signed into law on August 8, 2005. This provides a regulatory framework by which to license and regulate byproduct material in accordance with the new, expanded definition. The amended regulations impacted numerous existing information collections. The NRC packaged all of the impacted information collections into one new information collection which OMB approved and assigned control number 3150-0203. The clearance affecting this 83-C is NRC Form 4, “Cumulative Occupational Exposure History,” which is currently covered under OMB Clearance 3150-0005. This form is used by licensees to maintain a cumulative summary of personnel occupational exposure history. The purpose of this 83-C is to transfer burden from OMB Clearance 3150-0203, “10 CFR Parts 20, 30, 31, 32, & 35, Requirements for Expanded Definition of Byproduct Material, Final Rule and NRC Forms 4, 5, 313, 314, & 664,” to OMB Clearance 3150-0005, “Cumulative Occupational Exposure History,” which was contained in the final approved on 8/23/07. Once the entire burden for 3150-0203 has been transferred to the correct clearances, we will submit an 83-D to discontinue 3150-0203. A total of 21 hours will be transferred to 3150-0005, resulting in a revised burden of 64 hours.
