SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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 31, General 
Domestic Licenses for Byproduct Material.
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0016.
    3. 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.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Persons receiving, 
possessing, using, or transferring devices containing byproduct 
material.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 23,300 (Approximately 2,400 
NRC general licensees and 20,900 Agreement State general licensees).
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 10,998.5 hours (1,061 hours for NRC licensees [461 hours 
reporting + 600 hours recordkeeping] + 9,937.5 hours for Agreement 
State licensees [4,712.5 hours reporting + 5,225 hours recordkeeping]).
    7. 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.
    Submit, by January 27, 2012, 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?
