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

SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of

Domestic Licenses of Broad Scope for Byproduct Material.
    2. Current OMB Approval Number: 3150-0015.
    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 10-year resubmittal of the information for 
renewal of the license.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: All applicants requesting a 
license of broad scope for byproduct material and all current licensees 
requesting renewal of a broad scope license.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 177 NRC broad scope licensees 
and 354 Agreement State licensees.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 4,425 hours for NRC licensees and 8,850 hours for Agreement 
State licensees.
    7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 33 contains mandatory requirements for the 
issuance of a broad scope license authorizing the use of byproduct 
material. The subparts cover specific requirements for obtaining a 
license of broad scope. These requirements include equipment, 
facilities, personnel, and procedures adequate to protect health and 
minimize danger to life or property.
    Submit, by April 27, 1999, 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?
