Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Who Must File NRC Form 313
If you apply for a materials license to possess, use, or distribute byproduct or source material, you must submit NRC Form 313 (which may include one or more of the NRC Form 313A series). The form is a one-time submittal when applying for a new license and a resubmittal is required every 15 years to renew an issued specific license.
Estimated Annual Compliance Burden
The NRC estimates 18,994.5 annual responses from 14,229 respondents (1,292 NRC licensees; 10,594 Agreement State licensees; 2,343 third-party attestations) and a total annual burden of 39,891 hours (4,209 NRC licensee reporting; 34,511 Agreement State reporting; 1,171 third-party attestations).
Third-Party Preceptor Attestation Requirement
Certain NRC Form 313A entries require a preceptor attestation that must be provided by a third party (not the applicant or licensee). The 313A series lists which individuals and authorizations need preceptor attestations for authorization as RSOs, AMPs, ANPs, or Authorized Users under specified 10 CFR sections.
Forms Identify Specific Radiation Roles
The NRC Form 313A series is used to identify individuals for roles such as Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) or Associate RSO, Authorized Medical/Ophthalmic Physicist (AMP), Authorized Nuclear Pharmacist (ANP), and various Authorized User categories when applying for new licenses, amendments, or renewals.
