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 the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized
below.
1. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 244,
``Registration Certificate--Use of Depleted Uranium Under General
License.''
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0031.
3. Type of submission: Revision.
4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 244.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: Within 30
days after the first receipt or acquisition of depleted uranium. Any
changes in information furnished by the registrant in the NRC Form 244
shall be reported in writing to the Director, Office of Nuclear
Material Safety and Safeguards, with a copy to the Regional
Administrator of the appropriate U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Regional Office listed in appendix D of title 10 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) part 20; this report shall be submitted within 30
days after the effective date of such change.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Persons who receive,
acquire, possess, or use depleted uranium pursuant to the general
license established in 10 CFR 40.25(a).
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 19.0 (3 NRC Licensees
+ 16.0 Agreement State Licensees).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 18.0 (2 NRC Licensee
+ 16.0 Agreement State Licensees).
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 11.0 hours (1.7 NRC
hours + 9.3 Agreement State hours).
10. Abstract: Part 40 of 10 CFR establishes requirements for the
receipt, possession, use and transfer of radioactive source and
byproduct materials. Section 40.25 established a general license
authorizing the use of depleted uranium contained in industrial
products or devices for the purpose of providing a concentrated mass in
a small volume of the product or device. The NRC Form 244 is used to
report the receipt and transfer of depleted uranium, as required by 10
CFR 40.25. The registration information required by the NRC Form 244
enables the NRC to make a determination on whether the possession, use,
or transfer of depleted uranium source and byproduct material is in
conformance with the NRC's regulations for the protection of public
health and safety.
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 21st day of August 2018.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David C. Cullison,
NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
