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: General Domestic
Licenses for Byproduct Material.
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0016.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: Reports are
submitted as events occur. General license registration requests may be
submitted at any time. Changes to the information on the registration
may be submitted as they occur. Devices meeting certain criteria must
be registered annually.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Persons receiving,
possessing, using, or transferring devices containing byproduct
material.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 167,858 (12,277
reporting responses + 181 third-party responses + 155,400
recordkeepers).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 155,400 (18,500 NRC
licensee respondents + 136,900, Agreement State licensee respondents).

Regulations (10 CFR), ``General Domestic Licenses for Byproduct
Material'' establishes general licenses for the possession and use of
byproduct material in certain devices. General licensees are required
to keep testing records and submit event reports identified in 10 CFR
part 31, which assist the NRC in determining, with reasonable
assurance, that devices are operated safely and without radiological
hazard to users or the public.
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
