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 May 24, 2024, 89 FR 45927.
    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: 172,694 (10,418 
reporting responses + 226 third-party responses + 162,050 
recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 162,050 (18,843 NRC 
licensee respondents + 143,207, Agreement State licensee respondents).
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 45,116 hours.
    10. Abstract: Part 31 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
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.

    Dated: October 24, 2024.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
