NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

AGENCY: 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 and 
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 30, Rules 
of General Applicability to Domestic Licensing of Byproduct Material--
Revision to include burden for license conditions and additional burden 
for transferring a license.
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0017.
    3. How often the collection is required: On occasion. Reports are 
submitted upon license transfer or as events occur. Recordkeeping must 
be performed on an on-going basis.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Persons applying for or 
holding a license to manufacture, produce, transfer, receive, acquire, 
own, possess, or use radioactive byproduct material.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 6552 (1,872 NRC licensees and 
4680 Agreement State licensees).
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 2131 (608 hours for NRC licensees [321 reporting + 287 
recordkeeping] and 1523 hours for Agreement State licensees [803 
reporting + 720 recordkeeping]).
    7. Abstract: The NRC's regulations in 10 CFR part 30 establish 
rules, applicable to all persons in the United States, governing 
domestic licensing of radioactive byproduct material. The NRC has 
identified two sections of 10 CFR part 30 that contain burden that has 
not been previously captured in the supporting statement for 10 CFR 
part 30. This burden is submitted as an addition to the current 10 CFR 
part 30 clearance. In 10 CFR 30.34(b), the NRC requires the submittal 
of information that may not have been required on the previously 
submitted Form 313, ``Application for Material License.'' In addition, 
10 CFR 30.34(e)(4) permits the NRC to impose additional conditions in 
the license under certain circumstances. These conditions may require 
additional reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The conditions are 
used in conjunction with the requirements in Title 10 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (10 CFR).
    Submit, by July 30, 2001, 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?

[[Page 29347]]

    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?
    A copy of the draft supporting statement may be viewed free of 
charge at the NRC Public Document Room, One White Flint North, 11555 
Rockville Pike, Room O-1F23, Rockville, Maryland. OMB clearance 
requests are available at the NRC web site (http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/PUBLIC/OMB/index.html). The document will be available on the NRC home 
page site for 60 days after the signature date of this notice.

requirements may be directed to the NRC Clearance Officer, Brenda Jo.
