NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2012-0198]
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 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.
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: 99 (33 NRC Licensees + 66
Agreement State Licensees).
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 10,548 hours (4,256 NRC Licensees hours [2,184 reporting +
2,072 recordkeeping] + 6,292 Agreement States Licensees hours [2,500
reporting + 3,792 recordkeeping]).
7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 40 establishes requirements for licenses
for the receipt, possession, use and transfer of radioactive source and
byproduct material. 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 November 23, 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?
