NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2008-0621]
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 the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC invites public comment about our intention to request
the OMB's approval for renewal of an existing information collection
that is summarized below. We are required to publish this notice in the
Federal Register 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 number of annual respondents: 20,669 (3,869 NRC licensees
and 16,800 Agreement State licensees).
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 283,891 (NRC licensees 52,450 hours [22,833 reporting +
29,617 recordkeeping] and Agreement State licensees 231,441 hours
[100,081 reporting + 131,360 recordkeeping]).
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.
Submit, by February 9, 2009, 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?
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?
