II. Background

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to 
request OMB's approval for the information collection summarized below.
    1. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 314, 
``Certificate of Disposition of Materials.''
    2. OMB approval number: OMB approval number 3150-0028.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 314, ``Certificate of 
Disposition of Materials.''
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: NRC Form 314 
is submitted by a materials licensee who wishes to terminate its 
license. The form provides information needed by the NRC to determine 
whether the licensee has radioactive materials on hand which must be 
transferred or otherwise disposed of prior to expiration or termination 
of the license.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Respondents are firms, 
institutions, and individuals holding NRC licenses to possess and use 
radioactive materials who do not wish to renew those licenses.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 136 responses.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 136 respondents.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: Each form requires, on 
average, approximately 0.5 hours to prepare. 136 x 0.5 hour = a total 
annual burden for all respondents of 68 hours.
    10. Abstract: The NRC Form 314 furnishes information to the NRC 
regarding transfer or other disposition of radioactive material by 
licensees who wish to terminate their licenses. The information is used 
by the NRC as part of the basis for its determination that the facility 
has been cleared of radioactive material before the facility is 
released for unrestricted use.

III. Specific Requests for Comments

    The NRC is seeking 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 estimate of the burden of the information collection 
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 on respondents 
be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology?

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 13th day of July 2016.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
