SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

Renewal applications are submitted every 10 years. In addition, recordkeeping must be performed on an on-going basis, and reports of transfer of byproduct material must be reported every 5 years, and in a few cases, every year. 5. *Who will be required or asked to report:* All specific licensees who manufacture or initially transfer items containing byproduct material for sale or distribution to general licensees or persons exempt from licensing. 6. *An estimate of the number of responses:* 4147 (650 responses + 275 recordkeepers for NRC licensees and 2522 responses + 700 recordkeepers for Agreement State licensees). 7. *The estimated number of annual respondents:* 975 (275 NRC licensees and 700 Agreement State licensees). 8. *An estimate of the number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request:* 135,741 (36,623 hours for NRC licensees [5,225 hours reporting, or an average of 8 hours per response + 31,398 hours recordkeeping, or 114 hours per recordkeeper] and 99,118 hours for Agreement State licensees [20,863 hours reporting, or an average of 8.3 hours per response + 78,255 hours recordkeeping, or an average of 112 hours per recordkeeper]). 9. *An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub.

Abstract: 10 CFR part 32 establishes requirements for specific licenses for the introduction of byproduct material into products or materials and transfer of the products or materials to general licensees or persons exempt from licensing. It also prescribes requirements governing holders of the specific licenses. Some of the requirements are for information which must be submitted in an application for a specific license, records which must be kept, reports which must be submitted, and information which must be forwarded to general licensees and persons exempt from licensing. In addition, 10 CFR part 32 prescribes requirements for the issuance of certificates of registration (concerning radiation safety information about a product) to manufacturers or initial transferors of sealed sources and devices. Submission or retention of the information is mandatory for persons subject to the 10 CFR part 32 requirements. The information is used by NRC to make licensing and other regulatory determinations concerning the use of radioactive byproduct material in products and devices.

E5-3599 Filed 7-7-05; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7590-01-P RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD Proposed Data Collection Available for Public Comment and Recommendations SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirement of Section 3506 (c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 which provides opportunity for public comment on new or revised data collections, the Railroad Retirement Board
(RRB)will publish periodic summaries of proposed data collections. *Comments are invited on:*
(a)Whether the proposed information collection is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information has practical utility;
(b)the accuracy of the RRB's estimate of the burden of the collection of the information;
(c)ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(d)ways to minimize the burden related to the collection of information on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. *Title and purpose of information collection:* Evidence of Marital Relationship, Living with Requirements; OMB 3220-0021. To support an application for a spouse or widow(er)'s annuity under Sections 2(c) or 2(d) of the Railroad Retirement Act, an applicant must submit proof of a valid marriage to a railroad employee. In some cases, the existence of a marital relationship is not formalized by a civil or religious ceremony. In other cases, questions may arise about the legal termination of a prior marriage of an employee, spouse, or widow(er). In these instances, the RRB must secure additional information to resolve questionable marital relationships. The circumstances requiring an applicant to submit documentary evidence of marriage are prescribed in 20 CFR 219.30. In the absence of documentary evidence to support the existence of a valid marriage between a spouse or widow(er) annuity applicant and a railroad employee, the RRB needs to obtain information to determine if a valid marriage existed. The RRB utilizes Forms G-124, Statement of Marital Relationship; G-124a, Statement Regarding Marriage; G-237, Statement Regarding Marital Status; G-238, Statement of Residence; and G-238a, Statement Regarding Divorce or Annulment to secure the needed information. One response is requested of each respondent. Completion is required to obtain benefits. The RRB proposes no changes to the forms in the collection.
