Abstract: 10 CFR Part 19 requires licensees to advise workers on an annual basis of any radiation exposure they may have received as a result of NRC-licensed activities or when certain conditions are met. These conditions apply during termination of the worker's employment, at the request of a worker, former worker, or when the worker's employer (the NRC licensee) must report radiation exposure information on the worker to the NRC. Part 19 also establishes requirements for instructions by licensees to individuals participating in licensed activities and options available to these individuals in connection with Commission inspections of licensees to ascertain compliance with the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and regulations, orders and licenses thereunder regarding radiological working conditions.

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 10 CFR Part 19, Notices, Instructions, and Reports to Workers: Inspection and Investigations, which is currently covered under OMB Clearance 3150-0044. This regulation requires licensees to advise workers of their radiation exposure annually; at termination of employment; at the request of a worker, former worker; or when the licensee must report employee radiation exposure information to the NRC. 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 3150-0044, Notices, Instructions, and Reports to Workers: Inspection and Investigations, which was contained in the final rule approved on 8/23/07. 10 CFR Part 19 regulations require licensees to advise workers of their radiation exposure annually; at termination of employment; at the request of a worker, former worker; or when the licensee must report employee radiation exposure information to the NRC. 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 432 hours will be transferred to 3150-0044, resulting in a revised total burden of 25,224 hours.
