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
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?
