DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
    Title: Evaluation of Whole-Body Detector Response of Virtual Gamma-
Ray System--Administered Radioactive Material.
    Form Number(s): None.
    OMB Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 5.
    Number of Respondents: 50.
    Average Hours Per Response: 6 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: This collection of information is necessary to 
allow Investigators to make the appropriate corrections to relate the 
radioactivity measured to the content in the volunteer at the time of 
the measurement. The project will evaluate the system's response to a 
variety of body geometries, and relate the system's response to 
handheld in vivo gamma-ray detectors readings that would be used during 
radiological emergency response. Physical parameters of the volunteers 
such as height, weight will be needed to assess the correlation with 
counting response that is expected to have uncertainties as large as 50 
percent. It is an objective of the project to provide guidance to the 
radiological consequence management community to better be able to 
estimate internal contamination of exposed people, and make decisions 
of their care.
    Affected Public: Federal government, and individual or households.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Jasmeet Seehra, (202) 395-3123.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6625, 14th and

collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
