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 as
follows.
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: NRC Form 244.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion.
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: 21.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 8.5.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 12.2 (8.5 reporting +
1.7 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 Section 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.

1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical
utility? Please explain your answer.
2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection
accurate? Please explain your answer.
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?
