NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; Comment Request

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 currently valid OMB control number.
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: General Licensee 
Registration.
    3. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 664.
    4. How often the collection is required: Annually.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: General Licensees of 
the NRC who possess devices subject to registration under 10 CFR 31.5.
    6. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 3,000.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 3,000.
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 1,000 hours annually (3,000 
respondents x 20 minutes per form).
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not Applicable.
    10. Abstract: NRC Form 664 is used by NRC general licensees to make 
reports regarding certain generally licensed devices subject to 
registration. The registration program allows 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
