Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

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 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 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: 22,091 (2,959 NRC Licensees 
and 19,132 Agreement State Licensees).
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 302,697 (NRC licensees 40,327 hours [18,258 reporting + 
22,069 recordkeeping] and Agreement State licensees 262,370 hours 
[118,913 reporting + 143,457 recordkeeping]).
    7. Abstract: Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (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 June 11, 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?
