for package certification may be made at any time. Required reports are 
collected and evaluated on a continuing basis as events occur.

licensees who place byproduct, source, or special nuclear material into 
transportation, and all persons who wish to apply for NRC approval of 
package designs for use in such transportation.
    6. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 850 responses 
(600 + 250 recordkeepers).
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 250 licensees.
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 42,896 hours (37,304 hours for 
reporting requirements and 5,592 for recordkeeping requirements).

applies: N/A.
    10. Abstract: NRC regulations in 10 CFR Part 71 establish

of licensed material, and prescribe procedures, standards, and 
requirements for approval by NRC of packaging and shipping procedures 
for fissile material and for quantities of licensed material in excess
