NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2009-0133]
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 40,
Domestic Licensing of Source Material.
2. Current OMB Approval Number: 3150-0020.
3. How Often the Collection is Required: On occasion. Reports
required under 10 CFR part 40 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 need to be
submitted every 5 to 10 years. Information in previous applications may
be referenced without being resubmitted. In addition, recordkeeping
must be performed on an on-going basis. NRC Form 484 is submitted
semiannually to report ground-water data necessary to implement EPA
ground-water standards.
4. Who is Required or Asked to Report: 10 CFR part 40: Applicants
for and holders of NRC licenses authorizing the receipt, possession,
use, or transfer of radioactive source and byproduct material.
5. The Number of Annual Respondents: 894 (273 NRC Licensees [68 NRC
responses + 205 NRC Recordkeepers] + 621 Agreement State Licensees [349
Agreement State responses + 272 Agreement State recordkeepers])
6. The Number of Hours Needed Annually to Complete the Requirement
or Request: 64,214 total hours [20,525 for NRC Licensees (15,823 hours
for reporting and 4,702 hours for recordkeeping) and 43,689 for
Agreement State Licensees (25,963
[[Page 13482]]
hours for reporting and 17,726 hours for recordkeeping)].
7. Abstract: 10 CFR part 40 establishes requirements for licenses
for the receipt, possession, use and transfer of radioactive source and
byproduct material. NRC Form 484 is used to report certain groundwater
monitoring data required by 10 CFR part 40 for uranium recovery
licensees. The application, reporting and recordkeeping requirements
are necessary to permit the NRC to make a determination on whether the
possession, use, and transfer of source and byproduct material is in
conformance with the Commission's regulations for protection of public
health and safety.
Submit, by May 26, 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?
