Abstract: Part 35 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), "Medical Use of Byproduct Material," 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. Part 35 contains mandatory requirements that apply to NRC licensees authorized to administer byproduct material or radiation therefrom to humans for medical use. These requirements also provide voluntary provisions for specialty boards to apply to have their certification processes recognized by the NRC so that their board certified individuals can use the certifications as proof of training and experience.

Short Statement: The overall burden has decreased by 107,754 hours from 1,173,785 hours (NRC Licensees 156,538 hrs + Agreement States 1,017,247 hrs) to 1,066,031 hours (NRC Licensees 144,203 hrs + Agreement States 921,826 hrs + specialty certifying entities 2 hrs), the number of responses decreased by 6,439 responses from 246,581 responses (32,880 NRC Licensees + 213,701 Agreement States) to 240,145 ((NRC: 31,431 + 1,035 recordkeepers = 32,466) + (Agreement States: 201,053 + 6,624 recordkeepers + 2 specialty certification entity = 207,679)). The burden calculations were affected by (1) a reduction in the number of NRC medical use licensees and Agreement State licensees, (2) a shift in the distribution of medical uses by the NRC licensees that may not reflect the same distribution of Agreement State medical use licensees, (3) use of the WBL data base which provides more detailed information for some medical uses, and (4) consolidation of multiple NRC licenses into a single medical use license the WBL data base. The requirements for the reporting burden notifications have been moved from the NRC and Agreement States reporting tables (Table 1 and Table 4) to the third-party disclosure tables (Table 3 and Table 6). NRC calculates the burden for Agreement State medical use licensees based on the ratio of NRC licensees to Agreement State licensees, and distribution of the types of medical uses authorized by NRC medical use licensees. While the total number of NRC and Agreement State licensees decreased from 2010 to 2013, the decrease in the number of Agreement State medical use licensees may not have been proportional to the decrease in the total number of NRC medical use licensees from 1,148 to 1,035. NRC estimates the number of NRC and Agreement State medical use licensees decreased from 8,610 to 7,659. Further, the types of medical uses retained by NRC licensees may not reflect the Agreement State licensees' distribution of these medical uses. In addition, there was a decrease in the overall hourly fee rate from $274/hr to $272/hr.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $81,600
