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

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: 10,929 (971 NRC respondents,

    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 36,186 hours (4,843 hours for NRC licensees + 31,343 hours 
for Agreement State licensees).
    7. Abstract: Part 31 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(10 CFR), 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 the NRC in determining with reasonable assurance that 
devices are operated safely and without radiological hazard to users or 
the public.
