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 and 

distributes 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 in 

commercial 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.

Proposed Information Collection 

Request; Comment Request:

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency is planning to submit three

‘‘Information Requirements for 

Importation of Nonconforming Vehicles 

(Renewal)’’, EPA ICR No. 0010.13, OMB 

Control No. 2060–0095; ‘‘Control of 

Evaporative Emissions from New and 

In-Use Portable Gasoline Containers 

(Renewal)’’, ICR 2213.04, OMB 2060–

not required to respond to a collection 

of information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 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. 

EPA–HQ–OAR–2013–0048, Information 

Requirements for Importation of 

Nonconforming Vehicles (Renewal); 

EPA ICR No. 0010.13, OMB Control No. 

2060–0095 

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.
