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.
