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: NRC Form 244, 
Registration Certificate--Use of Depleted Uranium under General 
License.
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0031.
    3. How often the collection is required: On occasion. NRC Form 244 
is submitted when depleted uranium is received or transferred under a 
general license. Information on NRC Form 244 is collected and evaluated 
on a continuing basis as events occur.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Persons receiving, 
possessing, using, or transferring depleted uranium under the general 
license established in 10 CFR 40.25(a).
    5. The number of annual respondents: 23.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 23.
    7. Abstract: Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 
Part 40, establishes requirements for licenses for the receipt, 
possession, use, and transfer of radioactive source and byproduct 
material. The NRC Form 244 is used to report receipt and transfer of 
depleted uranium under general license, as required by Section 40.25. 
The registration certification information required by the NRC Form 244 
is necessary to permit the NRC to make a determination on whether the 
possession, use, and transfer of depleted uranium source and byproduct 
material is in conformance with the Commission's regulations for 
protection of public health and safety.
    Submit, by September 25, 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?
