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, 
``Rules of General Applicability to Domestic Licensing of 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 July 22, 2022, 87 FR 43908.
    1. The title of the information collection: ``Rules of General 
Applicability to Domestic Licensing of Byproduct Material.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0017.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Required 
reports are collected and evaluated on a continuing basis as events 
occur. There is a onetime submittal of information to receive a 
license. Renewal applications are submitted every 15 years. Information 
submitted in previous applications may be referenced without being 
resubmitted. In addition, recordkeeping must be performed on an ongoing 
basis.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: All persons applying 
for or holding a license to manufacture, produce, transfer, receive, 
acquire, own, possess, or use radioactive byproduct material.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 144,734 (17,445 NRC 
Licensee responses [1,049 reporting responses + 2,200 for recordkeepers 
+ 14,196 third-party disclosures] and (127,289 Agreement State Licensee 
responses [7,658 reporting responses + 16,000 for recordkeepers + 
103,631 third-party disclosures]).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 18,200 (2,200 NRC 
Licensees and 16,000 Agreement State Licensees).
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 229,100 hours (113,042 
reporting hours + 103,708 recordkeeping hours + 12,350 third party 
disclosure hours).
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 30 establishes requirements that are 
applicable to all persons in the United States governing domestic 
licensing of radioactive byproduct material. The application, reporting 
and recordkeeping requirements are necessary to permit the NRC to make 
a determination whether the possession, use, and transfer of byproduct 
material is in conformance with the Commission's regulations for 
protection of the public health and safety.

    Dated: March 24, 2023.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
