II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of 
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, 
``General Domestic Licenses for Byproduct Material.'' The NRC hereby 
informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or 
sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a collection 
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment 
period on this information collection on March 23, 2021 (86 FR 15512).
    1. The title of the information collection: Part 31 of title 10 of 
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``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).
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 43,803 hours (4,905 
reporting hours + 48 third-party disclosure hours + 38,850 
recordkeeping hours).
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 31, ``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.
