NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for Office 
of Management and Budget (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: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 31, 
``General Domestic Licenses for Byproduct Material''
    3. The form number: Not applicable.
    4. 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.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Persons receiving, 
possessing, using, or transferring byproduct material in certain items.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 170 reports from NRC 
licensees and 340 reports from Agreement State licensees.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: Approximately 10,126 
NRC general licensees and 20,252 Agreement State general licensees.
    8. An estimate of the total 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.
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Public Law 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    10. 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 licensees and fewer reports being filed by general licensees. 
However, the burden for Agreement State licensees was not included in 
the previous burden.
