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, ``NRC 
Form 244, ``Registration Certificate--Use of Depleted Uranium Under 
General License.'' 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 May 27, 2022, 87 FR 32197.
    1. The title of the information collection: ``NRC Form 244, 
``Registration Certificate--Use of Depleted Uranium Under General 
License.'' ''.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0031.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Form 244.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occassion.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Persons who receive, 
acquire, possess, or use depleted uranium.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 20.6.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 20.6.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 11.7 (8.3 reporting + 
1.4 recordkeeping + 2 third-party disclosure).
    10. Abstract: The NRC regulations in part 40 of title 10 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations, establishes requirements for the receipt, 
possession, use and transfer of radioactive source and byproduct 
materials. Section 40.25 established a general license authorizing the 
use of depleted uranium contained in industrial products or devices for 
the purpose of providing a concentrated mass in a small volume of the 
product or device. The NRC Form 244 is used to report the receipt and 
transfer of depleted uranium, as required by Sec.  40.25. The 
registration information required by the NRC Form 244 enables the NRC 
to make a determination on whether the possession, use, or transfer of 
depleted uranium source and byproduct material is in conformance with 
the NRC's regulations for the protection of public health and safety. 
General licensees can also use NRC Form 244 to update any of the 
information contained in the form, once the form is authorized by the 
NRC.

    Dated: September 14, 2022.
