Abstract: 10 CFR Part 35 contains NRC's requirements and provisions for the medical use of byproduct material and for issuance of specific licenses authorizing the medical use of this material. These requirements and provisions provide for the radiation safety of workers, the general public, patients, and human research subjects. 10 CFR Part 35 contains mandatory requirements that apply to NRC licensees authorized to adminster byproduct material or radiation there from to humans for medical use. The information in the required reports and records is used by the NRC to ensure that public health and safety is protected, and that the possession and use of byproduct material is in compliance with the license and regulatory requirements.

Short Statement: Although the overall burden has increased by 147,827 hours from 1,025,958 (259,513 NRC Licensees + 766,445 Agreement States) to 1,173,785 hours (NRC Licensees 156,536 hrs + Agreement States 1,017,245 hrs), the number of responses decreased by 14,813 responses from 261,394 responses (55,629 NRC Licensees + 205,765 Agreement States) to 246,581 responses (32,880 NRC Licensees + 213,701 Agreement States). The burden calculations were affected by (1) a correction for medical event reporting based on the actual number of medical events reported per year, (2) an increase in the number of Agreement States, and (3) a shift in the distribution of medical uses by the remaining NRC licensees. Approximately 38 medical events are reported each year by both NRC and Agreement State licensees instead of the previously estimated 164. This correction resulted in a burden reduction of 995 hours (327 hours for NRC licensees and 668 hours for the Agreement State licensees). Three states (Pennsylvania, Virginia and New Jersey) entered into agreements with NRC since 2007. NRC now has fewer licensees then in 2007 and the Agreement States have more. This accounts for a marked decrease in burden for NRC licensees and a marked increased shift in burden to the Agreement States. NRC calculates the burden for Agreement State medical use licensees based on the ratio of NRC licensees to Agreement State licensees, ratio of remaining medical use licensees to NRC licensees, and distribution of the types of medical uses retained by NRC medical licensees. The result is an estimated decrease in the total number of NRC and Agreement State medical use licensees from 8,751 to 8,610 and a shift in the types of medical uses retained by NRC licensees to those medical uses with larger calculated record keeping burdens. For example, NRC lost approximately one third of its medical use licensees but approximately one half of its brachytherapy, gamma sterotactic radiosurgery and remote afterloader use licensees which because of lower patient loads have fewer record keeping burdens. At this time, NRC cannot determine whether the resulting calculations for the Agreement State licensee are less or more accurate.
