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 40 of title 10 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Domestic Licensing of
Source Material.''
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0020.
3. Type of submission: Revision.
4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: Reports
required under 10 CFR part 40 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 need to be
submitted every 15 to 40 years. Information 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: Applicants for and
holders of NRC licenses authorizing the receipt, possession, use, or
transfer of radioactive source material.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 1,341.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 582 (72 NRC
licensees + 510 Agreement State licensees).
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 16,422 hours (11,284
hours reporting + 5,123 hours recordkeeping + 15 hours third party
disclosure).
10. Abstract: The NRC regulations in 10 CFR part 40 establish
procedures and criteria for the issuance of licenses to receive title
to, receive, possess, use, transfer, or deliver source and byproduct
material. The application, reporting, recordkeeping, and third-party
notification requirements are necessary to permit the NRC to make a
determination as to whether the possession, use, and transfer of source
and byproduct material is in conformance with the Commission's
regulations for protection of 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?
Dated: February 15, 2022.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
