NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

AGENCY: U. S. 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 of 
continued approval of information collections under the provisions of 
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: General Licensee 
Registration.
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0198.
    3. How often the collection is required: Annually.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: General Licensees of the NRC 
who possess devices subject to registration under 10 CFR 31.5.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 3,000.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 1,000 hours annually (3,000 respondents x 20 minutes per 
form).
    7. Abstract: NRC Form 664 would be used by NRC general licensees to 
make reports regarding certain generally licensed devices subject to 
registration. The registration program is intended to allow NRC to 
better track general licensees, so that they can be contacted or 
inspected as necessary, and to make sure that generally licensed 
devices can be identified even if lost or damaged, and to further 
ensure that general licensees are aware of and understand the 
requirements for the possession of devices containing byproduct 
material. Greater awareness helps to ensure that general licensees will 
comply with the requirements for proper handling and disposal of 
generally licensed devices and would reduce the potential for incidents 
that could result in unnecessary radiation exposure to the public and 
contamination of property.
    Submit, by November 3, 2003, 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 52430]]

    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

Rockville Pike, Room O-1 F21, Rockville, MD 20852. OMB clearance
