Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: U.S. 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. 
The NRC published a Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period on this information collection on May 8, 2008.
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 31, General 
Domestic Licenses for Byproduct Material.
    3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0016.
    4. The form number if applicable: N/A.
    5. How often the collection is required: Reports are submitted as 
events occur. General license registration requests may be submitted at 
any time. Changes to the information on the registration may be 
submitted as they occur.
    6. Who will be required or asked to report: Persons receiving, 
possessing, using, or transferring devices containing byproduct 
material.
    7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 35,663 (1,073 NRC 
responses + 3,900 NRC recordkeepers + 11,290 Agreement State responses 
+ 19,400 Agreement State recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: Approximately 3,900

[485 hours reporting and 975 hours recordkeeping] and 9,408 hours for 
Agreement State licensees [4,558 hours reporting and 4,850 hours 
recordkeeping]).
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 31 establishes general licenses for the 
possession and use of byproduct material in certain devices. General 
licensees are required to keep testing records and submit event reports 
identified in Part 31, which assist NRC in determining with reasonable 
assurance that devices are operated safely and without radiological 
hazard to users or the public.
