NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

 
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and 
solicitation of public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The 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.
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 30--Rules 
of General Applicability to Domestic Licensing of Byproduct Material.
    3. The form number if applicable: 
N/A.
    4. How often the collection is required: Required reports are 
collected and evaluated on a continuing basis as events occur. There is 
a one-time submittal of information to receive a license. Renewal 
applications are submitted every 10 years. Information submitted in 
previous applications may be referenced without being resubmitted. In 
addition, recordkeeping must be performed on an on-going basis.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: All persons applying 
for or holding a license to manufacture, produce, transfer, receive, 
acquire, own, possess, or use radioactive byproduct material.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: There are 6,225 NRC 
licensee responses and 17,302 Agreement State licensee responses 
annually for a total of 23,527.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: The number of annual 
respondents: 5,529 NRC licensees and 16,000 Agreement State licensees. 
The total number of respondents is 21,529.
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 47,032 hours for the NRC licensees 
(19,459 reporting + 27,573 recordkeeping) and 111,753 hours for the 
Agreement State licensees (38,344 reporting + 73,409 recordkeeping). 
The total burden is 158,785.
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not Applicable
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 30 establishes requirements that are 
applicable to all persons in the United States governing domestic 
licensing of radioactive byproduct material. The application, reporting 
and recordkeeping requirements are necessary to permit the NRC to make 
a determination whether the possession, use, and transfer of byproduct 
material is in conformance with the Commission's regulations for 
protection of the public health and safety.
