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 burden for NRC licensees is expected to decrease by 3,192 hours from 7,702 to 4,510 hours as a result of the decrease in licensing actions received by 1,664 from 2,713 to 1,049. The NRC expects the number of submitted licensing actions to remain at the fiscal year 2018 levels.
There are fewer licensing actions expected for Agreement States due to a decrease in the number of Agreement State respondents. The estimated number of licensing actions received will decrease by 8,189 from 15,420 to 7,231.
Overall, the burden for Agreement States will decrease by 20,417 hours from 51,510 to 31,093 hours.
The total estimated burden for completing NRC Form 313 and 313A will decrease by 25,100 hours, from 60,703 to 35,603 hours.
The total burden for completing NRC Form 313 and 313A is as follows:
35,603 burden hours for 8,280 responses (4,510 burden hours for 1,049 NRC licensing actions plus 31,093 Agreement State licensee burden hours for 7,231 estimated Agreement State licensing actions.)
8,280 respondents (1,049 NRC licensee respondents plus 7,231 Agreement State licensee respondents.)
The burden decreased due to a reduction in the actual number of licensing actions received (downward adjustment of 25,100 hours).
The burden for the third parties was not included in the last OMB clearance. The burden is expected to decrease because board certified individuals will no longer be required to have preceptor attestations.
For background on NRC Form 313 and the calculation of estimated burden, all applicable applicants and licensees need to consider and address Items 1 through 13 of NRC Form 313, as appropriate. Also, the NRC developed the optional supplemental NRC Form 313A series to make it easier for medical use and commercial nuclear pharmacy licensees and applicants to provide information to be submitted as part of Item 7 (âIndividual(s) Responsible for Radiation Safety Program and Their Training and Experienceâ) and Item 8 (âTraining for Individuals Working In or Frequenting Restricted Areasâ) of NRC Form 313. This estimated burden for NRC Form 313 (calculated above) includes the burden for the optional supplemental NRC Form 313A series due to the supplementary nature of the NRC Form 313A. Therefore, the burden for the NRC Form 313A series is not presented separately. Any burden changes related to the revisions to the NRC Form 313A series forms as a result of the final rule published July 26, 2018 were included in the information collection changes submitted with that final rule.
In addition, the fee rate increased from $268 to $275 per hour.
