Abstract: 10 CFR Part 36, contains requirements for the issuance of a license authorizing the use of sealed sources containing radioactive materials in irradiators used to irradiate objects or materials for a variety of purposes in research, industry, and other fields. The subparts cover specific requirements for obtaining a license or license exemption, design and performance criteria for irradiators; and radiation safety requirements for operating irradiators, including requirements for operator training, written operating and emergency procedures, personnel monitoring, radiation surveys, inspection, and maintenance. Part 36 also contains the recordkeeping and reporting requirements that are necessary to ensure that the irradiator is being safely operated so that it does not pose any danger to the health and safety of the general public and the irradiator employees.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The overall burden has decreased by 2,776 hours from 42,612 to 39,836 hours because the recordkeeping burden associated with 10 CFR 36.81(d) was accidentally accounted for twice. Removing the additional burden caused the recordkeeping burden to decrease by 2,776 hours. Other than this correction, all other factors impacting burden for reporting, recordkeeping, and third-party disclosures remained the same. The cost estimates have changed since the last clearance, as a result of a decrease in the fee rate per hour from $263 to $279/hour.
