NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

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

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information 
collection 

[[Page 4688]]
request to OMB and solicitation of public comment.

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

SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review or 
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: NRC Form 313, 
``Application for Material License.''
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0120.
    3. How often the collection is required: There is a one-time 
submittal of information to receive a license. Once a specific license 
has been issued, there is a 5-year re-submittal of the information for 
renewal of the license.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: All applicants requesting a 
license for byproduct or source material.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 2,669 NRC licensees and 6,922 
Agreement State licensees. The NRC has published a final rule, ``One-
Time Extension of Certain Byproduct, Source, and Special Nuclear 
Materials Licenses'' on January 16, 1996, with an effective date of 
February 15, 1996. This rule implements, on a one-time basis, a 5-year 
extension of certain byproduct, source, and special nuclear materials 
licenses. It is expected that approximately 80 percent of NRC licenses 
will qualify for the one time extension. An 80 percent reduction in the 
number of anticipated renewals during the OMB clearance period was used 
in calculating the burdens.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 18,683 hours for NRC licensees and 48,454 hours for 
Agreement State licensees (an average of 7 hours per response).
    7. Abstract: Applicants must submit NRC Form 313 to obtain a 
specific license to possess, use, or distribute byproduct or source 
material. The information is reviewed by the NRC to determine whether 
the applicant is qualified by training and experience, and has 
equipment, facilities, and procedures which are adequate to protect the 
public health and safety of the public, and minimize danger to life or 
property.
    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?
