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 of 
continued 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.
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0017.
    3. 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.
    4. Who is 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.
    5. The estimated number of annual respondents: 20,631 (4,485 NRC 
licensees and 16,146 Agreement State licensees).
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 248,034 (NRC licensees 53,948 hours [25,983 reporting + 
27,965 recordkeeping] and Agreement State licensees 194,086 hours 
[93,431 reporting + 100,655 recordkeeping] or 8.2 hours per response 
and 6.2 hours her recordkeeper).
    7. 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.
