common analysis is potent and can 

greatly inform studies on the feeding 

behavior of whales in the region. The 

applicants would use standard dartbiopsy methods that have been used for 

more than 2 decades and are proven to 

be both humane and appropriate. A 

small sterilized stainless steel tip would 

be attached to the end of a customized 

crossbow bolt that has a flotation 

stopper engineered on to it. When the 

dart hits the whale, it penetrates the 

outermost skin and collects a ∼10×5 mm 

sample of both skin and blubber. These 

samples are placed in sterilized 

cryovials and kept in ¥20 °C freezers 

until they are shipped frozen back to the 

labs for analysis. For satellite tagging, 

they are testing specific hypotheses 

regarding how the movement and 

behavior of humpback whales relates to 

that of their prey, Antarctic krill, and 

sea ice in the Antarctic environment. 

Satellite-transmitting tags offer the 

opportunity to track the movement of 

individual whales over long time 

periods and in relation to physical 

processes in their environment. They 

will deploy 10 satellite-linked 

implantable tags, designed to a 

maximum of 290mm into the back of the 

whale (generally just forward and to the 

left or right side of the dorsal fin). The 

tag is designed to penetrate just beneath 

the skin and hypodermis to anchor the 

tag. All external components of the tag 

are built from stainless steel and the tag 

is surgically sterilized prior to 

deployment. Each tag is deployed with 

the use of a compressed air gun. Once 

deployed, each tag turns on during the 

subsequent dive of the whale. Tags will 

then transmit upon each initial 

surfacing, and each 30 seconds of 

subsequent ‘dry time’ until the tag falls 

off the whale, malfunctions or the single 

AA lithium battery is exhausted. 

Investigators with significant experience 

in these methods would conduct both 

biopsy and satellite tagging.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. NRC–2014–0155] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

Review; Comment Request 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of 

information collection and solicitation 

of public comment. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) has recently 

submitted to OMB for review the 

following proposal for the collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35). The NRC hereby 

informs potential respondents that an 

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 

that a person is not required to respond 

to, a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. The NRC published a Federal 

Register notice with a 60-day comment 

period on this information collection on 

July 2, 2014. 

1. Type of submission, new, revision, 

or extension: Extension. 

2. The title of the information 

collection: NRC Form 483, ‘‘Registration 

Certificate—In Vitro Testing with 

Byproduct Material Under General 

License.’’ 

3. Current OMB approval number: 

3150–0038. 

4. How often the collection is 

required: There is a one-time submittal 

of information to receive a validated 

copy of NRC Form 483 with an assigned 

registration number. In addition, any 

changes in the information reported on 

NRC Form 483 must be reported in 

writing to the NRC within 30 days after 

the effective date of such change. 

5. Who will be required or asked to 

report: Any physician, veterinarian in 

the practice of veterinary medicine, 

clinical laboratory or hospital which 

desires a general license to receive, 

acquire, possess, transfer, or use 

specified units of byproduct material in 

certain in vitro clinical or laboratory 

tests. 

6. An estimate of the number of 

annual responses: 8 responses. 

7. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 8 respondents. 

8. An estimate of the total number of 

hours needed annually to complete the

hours reporting + 0.11 hour 

recordkeeping).
