**DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY**

**Consideration of Withdrawal From Commercial Production and**  **Distribution of the Radioisotope Germanium-68** 

**AGENCY :**  Office of Science, Department of Energy.

**ACTION :**  Notice of Inquiry and Request for Comment.

**SUMMARY :**  The Department of Energy (DOE) currently produces anddistributes the radioisotope germanium68. DOE is seeking comment and information from the public to assist in its consideration of DOE withdrawal from the commercial production and distribution of germanium-68, based upon private industry expression of interest in and capability to engage incommercial production of germanium68.

**DATES :**  Interested persons must submit written comments by April 30, 2013.

**ADDRESSES :**  Comments may be submitted electronically by emailing to: Marc.Garland@science.doe.gov. Written comments may be addressed to: Dr. Marc Garland, Program Manager, Office of Nuclear Physics, Office of Science, U.S. Department of Energy, Germantown Building, SC–26.2, 1000 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20585–1290. We note that email submissions will avoid delay associated with security screening of U.S. Postal Service mail.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Dr. Jehanne Gillo, Director, Facilities and Project Management Division, Office of Nuclear Physics, Office of Science, U.S. Department of Energy, Germantown Building, SC–26.2, 1000 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20585–1290, Tel: 301–903–1455.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  It is DOE policy to refrain from competition with private industry in the commercial production and distribution of radioisotopes when those radioisotopes are reasonably available commercially. This policy was announced, and remains in effect, as stated in the Notice published in the Federal Register in 1965, entitled Policies and Procedures for Transfer of Commercial Radioisotope Production and Distribution to Private Industry (‘‘Statement of Policy’’), 30 FR 3247 (March 9, 1965).

The Department has been made aware of private industry development of commercial production and distribution of the radioisotope germanium-68. In light of these circumstances, DOE intends to evaluate the capability of private industry to satisfy the market demand for germanium-68, consistent with the guidelines provided in the Statement of Policy, referenced above. In summary, DOE’s evaluation will include consideration of: a demonstrable private capability to produce and distribute germanium-68; effective competition in the market for the production and distribution of germanium-68; assurance that private industry will not discontinue production or distribution of germanium-68 in a manner that would adversely impact the public interest; and the germanium-68 will be available at reasonable prices consistent with its intended uses and the prices to be charged will also encourage further research and development. Comments and information from the public received in response to this Notice will be considered in this evaluation.

If the determination is made that germanium-68 is reasonably available from commercial sources and it is appropriate for DOE to withdraw from commercial production and distribution of this radioisotope, DOE will publish in the Federal Register a notice of its intent to withdraw from the market, providing the public with information regarding the basis and timing of withdrawal. Should DOE decide to withdraw from the commercial production and distribution of germanium-68, all existing contracts will be honored.

EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.

Abstract: Importers into the U.S. of light duty vehicles, light duty trucks, and on-road motorcycles, or the corresponding engines, are required to report and keep records regarding the imports. The collection of this information is mandatory to insure compliance with Federal emissions requirements. Joint EPA and U.S. Customs Service regulations at 40 CFR 85.1501 et seq., 19 CFR 1273, and 19 CFR 1774, promulgated under the authority of Clean Air Act sections 203 and 208, give authority for the collection of this information. The information is used by program personnel to ensure that all Federal emissions requirements are met, and by State regulatory agencies, businesses, and individuals to verify whether vehicles are in compliance. Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made is safeguarded according to policies set forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B—Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR part 2), and the public is not permitted access to information containing personal or organizational identifiers.

Form Numbers: EPA Form 3520–1 EPA Form 3520–8.

Respondents/affected entities: Importers (including Independent Commercial Importers) into the U.S. of light duty vehicles, light duty trucks, and on-road motorcycles, or the corresponding engines.

Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a benefit (40 CFR 85.1501 et seq., 19 CFR 12.73, and 19 CFR 12.74).

Estimated number of respondents: 10,000 (total).

Frequency of response: Occasionally.
Total estimated burden: 8040 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b)

Total estimated cost: $141,493 (per year), which includes $42,523 annualized capital and operation & maintenance costs.

Changes in Estimates: There is a decrease of 152 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to a decrease in the number of vehicles imported under the ‘‘mod and test’’ and Independent Commercial Importer
programs.
