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 749, Manual
License Verification Report/License Verification System.
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0223.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: NRC 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 5
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: 587 + 5,520 = 6,107.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 587 + 5,520 = 6,107.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 59 + 386 hours = 445
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.
III. Specific Requests for Comments
The NRC is seeking comments that address the following questions:
[[Page 25480]]
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: April 28, 2020.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
