NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. NRC-2013-0229]


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 a new 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 749, ``Manual 
License Verification Report''.
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-XXXX.
    3. How often the collection is required: On occasion. Licensees 
subject to 10 CFR part 37, ``Physical Protection of Byproduct 
Material'' license verification requirements must verify the legitimacy 
of the license with the issuing agency prior to transferring

radioactive materials in quantities of concern.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Licensees are required to 
complete a license verification under the circumstances noted in 3 
above. A License Verification System (LVS) has been developed, 
providing an electronic method for fulfilling this requirement. In 
cases where a licensee is unable to use the LVS to perform a 
verification, they will provide NRC Form 749 for manual license 
verification.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 91.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 9.1 hours.
    7. Abstract: When a licensee is unable to use the License 
Verification System to perform their license verification prior to 
transfer, a manual process has been developed, in which licensees 
submit the NRC Form 749, ``Manual License Verification Report.'' The 
form provides the information necessary for the issuing agencies to 
perform the verification on behalf of the transferring licensee.
    Submit, by January 7, 2014, 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?
