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, ``Destinations of Released 
Patients Following Treatment with Iodine-131 and Estimation of Doses to 
Members of the Public at Locations other than Conventional Residences 
Receiving Such Patients.'' The NRC hereby informs potential responses 
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 a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment 
period on this information collection on Tuesday, May 19, 2015 (80 FR 
28715).
    1. The title of the information collection: Destinations of 
Released Patients Following Treatment with Iodine-131 and Estimation of 
Doses to Members of the Public at Locations other than Conventional 
Residences Receiving Such Patients.
    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: N/A.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: One-time.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Institutions that 
treat thyroid cancer patients with I-131 and the thyroid cancer 
patients who have been treated.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 5,175 (175 for 
treating institutions and 5000 for individuals).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 5,175.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 1,675 (175 hours for 
treating institution and 1500 hours for individuals).
    10. Abstract: Although most patients return to their home after 
receiving diagnostic or therapeutic of Iodine-131, some patients 
released by the licensee may stay at another location (such as a hotel) 
for a few days. However, the extent of this practice is unclear. The 
same uncertainty exists regarding patients returning to nursing homes 
and other institutional settings. Therefore, one of the main objectives 
of this study is to obtain reliable statistical data that provides good 
estimates of the prevalence of these practices. The second objective is 
to determine, by measurements, the external and internal doses received 
by members of the general public at hotels, nursing homes, or other 
institutional settings that receive treated patients immediately after 
their release.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of September, 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of Information Services.
