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: Part 30 of Title 10 of 
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Rules of General 
Applicability to Domestic Licensing of Byproduct Material.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0017.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Required 
reports are collected and evaluated on a continuing basis as events 
occur. There is a one-time submittal of information to receive a 
license. Renewal applications are submitted every 15 years. Information 
submitted in previous applications may be referenced without being 
resubmitted. In addition, recordkeeping must be performed on an on-
going basis.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: All persons applying 
for or holding a license to manufacture, produce, transfer, receive, 
acquire, own, possess, or use radioactive byproduct material.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 155,164 (24,322 NRC 
Licensee responses [1,272 reporting responses + 2,800 for recordkeeping 
+ 20,250 third-party disclosures] and 130,842 Agreement State Licensee 
responses [6,973 reporting responses + 16,500 for recordkeeping + 
107,369 third-party disclosures]).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 19,300 (2,800 NRC 
licensees and 16,500 Agreement State licensees).
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 228,279 (NRC licensees 
35,291 hours [16,439 hours for reporting + 16,792 hours for 
recordkeeping + 2,060 hours for third-party disclosures] and Agreement 
State licensees 192,988 hours [90,343 hours for reporting + 91,627 
hours for recordkeeping + 11,018 hours for third-party disclosures]).
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 30 establishes requirements that are 
applicable to all persons in the United States governing domestic 
licensing of radioactive byproduct material. The application, reporting 
and recordkeeping requirements are necessary to permit the NRC to make 
a determination whether the possession, use, and transfer of byproduct 
material is in conformance with the Commission's regulations for 
protection of the public health and safety.

III. Specific Requests for Comments

    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?

be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or
