Abstract: 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), ‘‘Radiation Safety Officer or Associate Radiation Safety Officer Training, Experience and Preceptor Attestation [10 CFR 35.57, 35.50]’’; (2) NRC Form 313A (AMP), ‘‘Authorized Medical Physicist or Ophthalmic Physicist, Training, Experience and Preceptor Attestation [10 CFR 35.51, 35.57(a)(3), and 35.433’’; (3) NRC Form 313A (ANP), ‘‘Authorized Nuclear Pharmacist Training, Experience, and Preceptor Attestation 10 CFR 35.55’’; (4) NRC Form 313A (AUD), ‘‘Authorized 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 35.590’’; (5) NRC Form 313A (AUT), ‘‘Authorized User Training, Experience, and Preceptor Attestation (for uses defined under 35.300) 10 CFR 35.57, 35.390, 35.392, 35.394 , and 35.396’’; and (6) NRC Form 313A (AUS), ‘‘Authorized 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.’’ 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.

Short Statement: The burden for the information collection has increased from 35,634 hours and 8,904 responses to 49,359 hours and 12,222 responses, an increase of 13,725 hours and 3,318 responses. The burden for this collection was estimated using actual data from the agency’s web based licensing system from 2021. Compared to the data estimated in the previous OMB clearance package, the number of respondents for license amendments has increased from 695 to 940. NRC staff believes that some materials licensees may not have been included in the total reported in the last clearance cycle. The current data correctly includes all materials licensees. The ratio used to estimate the number of Agreement State amendment licensing actions also increased from 5.3 to 7.3, based on an annual count of the number of licensees in Agreement States. The number of NRC licensee licensing actions changed from 1,049 to 1,174. The number of Agreement licensing actions changed from 7,231 to 10,296. The number of 3rd party attestations changed from 624 to 752. The burden for the annual estimated medical use license amendments has increased since the last OMB clearance by 104 from 297 to 401 total amendment requests. In the last clearance cycle this data was estimated, because there was new rule including amendment requests to add Associate Radiation Safety officers and ophthalmic physicists and the number of these was estimated. Now, the NRC staff is able to pull actual data on the number of these submissions. There were changes to the Forms 313A - AMP and 313A - RSO as follows: • Form NRC 313A RSO under Part I.2, the last section of option B was deleted. An option C was added; “if not board certified and not listed on a medical use license as an RSO before January 14, 2019, skip to and complete Part II Preceptor Attestation. • Form NRC 313A RSO under Part I.3, option C was deleted and substituted by “Stop here”. • Form NRC 313A AMP under Part I.2, two new options were added “b. If board-certified, provide a copy of the certificate and stop here” and “c. If listed on a license or permit before January 14, 2019, as an authorized medical physicist, stop here. The last option was deleted. MMLs are not affected by Form 313 and do not use the form, nor have they used it to add permittees in the past. References to MMLs have been removed from this information collection request. These changes are not anticipated to change the burden per response to complete these forms. In addition, the fee rate increased from $275 to $288 per hour.
