II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of 
an existing collection of information to OMB for review titled, NRC 
Form 749, ``Manual License Verification Report.'' The NRC hereby 
informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or 
sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a collection 
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment 
period on this information collection on March 23, 2017 (82 FR 14919).
    1. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 749, ``Manual 
License Verification Report.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0223.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 749.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: 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.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Licensees are required 
to complete a license verification under the circumstances noted in 4 
above. A License Verification System (LVS) is available to provide 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.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 456.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 456.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 46 
hours.
    10. Abstract: When a licensee is unable to use the License 
Verification System to perform their license verification prior to 
transferring radioactive materials in quantities of concern, a manual 
process is available, in which licensees submit the NRC Form 749, 
``Manual License Verification Report.'' The form provides the 
information necessary for the license issuing agencies to perform the 
verification on behalf of the licensee transferring the radioactive 
materials.
