NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information
collection request to OMB and solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of
continued approval of information collections under the provisions of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 30--Rules
of General Applicability to Domestic Licensing of Byproduct Material.
2. Current OMB Approval Number: 3150-0017.
3. How often the collection is required: Required reports are
collected
[[Page 15382]]
and evaluated on a continuing basis as events occur. There is a one-
time submittal of information to receive a license. Renewal
applications are submitted every 10 years. Information submitted in
previous applications may be referenced without being resubmitted. In
addition, recordkeeping must be performed on an on-going basis.
4. Who is required or asked to report: All persons applying for or
holding a license to manufacture, produce, transfer, receive, acquire,
own, possess, or use radioactive byproduct material.
5. The number of annual respondents: 5,529 NRC licensees and 16,000
Agreement State licensees.
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 46,937 hours for the NRC licensees (19,364 reporting +
27,573 recordkeeping) and 111,753 hours for the Agreement State
licensees (38,344 reporting + 73,409 recordkeeping).
7. 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.
Submit, by June 1, 1999, 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 burden estimate 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 be minimized,
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology?
