NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Documents Containing Reporting or Recordkeeping Requirements; 
Notice of Pending Submittal to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for Review

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

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information 
collection request to OMB and solicitation of public comment.

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

SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of 
continued approval of information collections under the provisions of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 31, 
``General Domestic Licenses for Byproduct Material''.
    2. Current OMB Approval Number: 3150-0016.
    3. How often the collection is required: Reports are submitted as 
events occur. Registration certificates may be submitted at any time. 
Changes to the information on the registration certificate are 
submitted as they occur.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Persons desiring to own 
byproduct material and persons desiring to possess and use byproduct 
material in certain items.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 170 NRC licensees and 340 
Agreement State licensees.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 2,634 hours for NRC licensees and 5,265 hours for Agreement 
State licensees.
    7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 31 establishes general licenses for the 
possession and use of byproduct material in certain items and a general 
license for ownership of byproduct material. General licensees are 
required to keep records and submit reports identified in Part 31 in 
order for NRC to determine with reasonable assurance that devices are 
operated safely and without radiological hazard to users or the public. 
The revision reflects an overall increase in burden. There has been a 
decrease in burden for NRC licensees, due to a smaller number of 
general 

[[Page 4686]]
licensees and fewer reports being filed by general licensees. However, 
the burden for Agreement State licensees was not included in the 
previous burden.
    Submit, by April 8, 1996, comments that address the following 
questions:
    1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC 
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical 
utility?
    2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected?
    4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized, 
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology?
