AGENCY: 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 current valid OMB control number.

    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 30--Rules 
of General Applicability to Domestic Licensing of Byproduct Material.
    3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    4. How often the collection is required: Required reports are 
collected and evaluated on a continuing basis as events occur. There is 
a one-time submittal of information to receive a license. Renewal 
applications are submitted every 10 years. Information submitted in 
previous applications may be referenced without being resubmitted. In 
addition, recordkeeping must be performed on an on-going basis.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: All persons applying 
for or holding a license to manufacture, produce, transfer, receive, 
acquire, own, possess, or use radioactive byproduct material.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 35,709 (7,965 NRC 
licensees (3,287 Reporting + 4,678 Recordkeepers) and 27,744 Agreement 
State licensees (10,839 Reporting + 16,905 recordkeepers)).
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 21,583 (4,678 NRC 
licensees and 16,905 Agreement State licensees).
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 247,239 (NRC licensees 55,488 
hours (26,875 reporting + 28,613 recordkeeping) and Agreement State 
licensees 191,751 hours (90,967 reporting + 100,784 recordkeeping).
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 30 establishes requirements that are 
applicable to all persons in the United States governing domestic 
licensing of radioactive byproduct material. The application, reporting 
and recordkeeping requirements are necessary to permit the NRC to make 
a determination whether the possession, use, and transfer of byproduct 
material is in conformance with the Commission's regulations for 
protection of the public health and safety.
