    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 40, 
``Domestic Licensing of Source Material,'' NRC Form 244, ``Registration

    10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 40 establishes requirements for licenses 
for the receipt, possession, use, and transfer of radioactive source 
and byproduct material. NRC Form 244 is used to report receipt and 
transfer of depleted uranium under general license, as required by 10 
CFR part 40. NRC Form 484 is used to report certain groundwater 
monitoring data required by 10 CFR part 40 for uranium recovery 
licensees. The application, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements 
are necessary to permit the NRC to make a determination on whether the 
possession, use, and transfer of source and byproduct material is in 
conformance with the Commission's regulations for protection of public 
health and safety.
