Section 31.11 of 10 CFR establishes a general license authorizing any physician, clinical laboratory, veterinarian in the practice of veterinary medicine, or hospital to possess certain small quantities of byproduct material for in vitro clinical or laboratory tests not involving the internal or external administration of the byproduct material or the radiation there from to human beings or animals. Possession of byproduct material under 10 CFR 31.11 is not authorized until the physician, clinical laboratory, veterinarian in the practice of veterinary medicine, or hospital has filed NRC Form 483 and received from the Commission a validated copy of NRC Form 483 with a registration number.
The overall hourly burden estimate has increased slightly by 0.44 burden hours from 12.43 burden hours to 13 burden hours. The NRC Form 483 is expected to remain steady during the next 3 years. The total hourly burden has not significantly changed from the previously reported to the OMB in 2008.
The number of registration certificates submitted by NRC licensees has decreased by 8 from 15 certificates to 7 certificates, a reduction of approximately one hour (8 certificates x 8 minutes x 1 hour/60 minutes = 1.07 hours). However, the number of registration certificates submitted by Agreement State licensees has increased by 10 from 70 certificates to 80, an increase of 1.3 hours (10 certificates x 8 minutes x 1 hour/60 minutes = 1.33 hours). In addition, the recordkeeping burden has increased by 0.04 from 1.13 to 1.17 hours. As a result, the overall change in burden is an increase of 0.3 hours (1.33 hours + 0.04 hours - 1.07hours).
All estimates are based on the most recent three years of data. Due to additional states becoming Agreement States, there are fewer NRC licensees and more Agreement State licensees. The NRC continues to receive approximately the same number of registration certificates per year; however, more are being submitted by Agreement State licensees and fewer are being submitted by NRC licensees than in the past.
The estimated burden cost since the last OMB approval of this package has increased by 35 from $238 to $273/hour, due to an increase in the hourly fee rate.
