II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a proposed collection of 
information to OMB for review entitled, ``NRC Request for Sodium Iodide 
I-131 Treatment and Patient Release Practices.'' The NRC hereby informs 
potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 
that a person is not required to respond to, a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The NRC published an FRN with a 60-day comment period on this 
information collection on March 3, 2015; 80 FR 11471, entitled ``NRC 
Request for Sodium Iodide I-131 Treatment and Patient Release 
Practices.''
    1. The title of the information collection: ``NRC Request for 
Sodium Iodide I-131 Treatment and Patient Release Practices.''
    2. OMB approval number: An OMB control number has not yet been 
assigned to this proposed information collection.
    3. Type of submission: New.
    4. The form number if applicable: Not Applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Once.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Medical professional 
organizations, physicians, patients, patient advocacy groups, NRC and 
Agreement State medical use licensees, Agreement States, and other 
interested individuals who use, receive, license or have interest in 
the use of I-131 sodium iodide (hereafter referred to as ``I-131'') for 
the treatment of thyroid conditions.

[[Page 35991]]

    7. The estimated number of annual responses: A one-time collection 
estimated to have 1,180 responses (620 medical community + 560 
patients).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 1,180 respondents 
(620 medical community + 560 patients).
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 457.5 
hours (255 medical community + 202.5 patients).
    10. Abstract: The NRC is requesting a one-time information 
collection that will be solicited in an FRN. The FRN will have specific 
I-131 patient release questions associated with: (1) Existing Web sites 
that the responders believe provide access to clear and consistent 
patient information about I-131 treatment processes and procedures; (2) 
information the responders believe represent best practices used in 
making informed decisions on releasing I-131 patients and stand alone 
or supplemental voluntary patient/licensee guidance acknowledgment 
forms, if available; (3) an existing set of guidelines that the 
responder developed or received that provides instructions to released 
patients; and (4) an existing guidance brochure that the responder 
believes would be acceptable for nationwide distribution. The responses 
will form the basis for patient release guidance products developed in 
response to the NRC's April 28, 2014, Staff Requirements--COMAMM-14- 
0001/COMWDM-14-0001--``Background and Proposed Direction to NRC Staff 
to Verify Assumptions Made Concerning Patient Release Guidance.'' The 
Commission, based on information from patients and patient advocacy 
groups, questioned the availability of clear, consistent, patient 
friendly and timely patient release information and directed the staff 
to work with a wide variety of stakeholders when developing new 
guidance products. This information collection effort was developed to 
gain input from as many stakeholders as possible. The NRC solicitation 
in the Federal Register is to obtain existing information from a 
variety of stakeholders.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 18th day of June, 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Tremaine Donnell,
NRC Clearance Officer, Office of Information Services.
