NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and 
solicitation of public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following 
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 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.
    1. Type of submission: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 313, 
``Application for Material License.''
    3. The form number: NRC Form 313.
    4. How often the collection is required: There is a one-time 
submittal of information to receive a license. Once a specific license 
has been issued, there is a 5-year resubmittal of the information for 
renewal of the license.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: All applicants 
requesting a license for byproduct or source material.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 2,669 licensing actions 
for NRC licensees and 6,922 licensing actions for Agreement State 
licensees. The NRC has published a final rule, ``One-Time Extension of 
Certain Byproduct, Source, and Special Nuclear Materials Licenses'' on 
January 16, 1996, with an effective date of February 15, 1996. This 
rule implements, on a one-time basis, a 5-year extension of certain 
byproduct, source, and special nuclear materials licenses. It is 
expected that approximately 80 percent of NRC licenses will qualify for 
the one time extension. An 80 percent reduction in the number of 
anticipated renewals during the OMB clearance period was used in 
calculating the burdens.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: Approximately 6,200 
NRC licensees and 12,400 Agreement State licensees. This is the total 
number of licensees which could potentially submit licensing actions.
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 18,683 hours for NRC licensees and 
48,454 hours for Agreement State licensees (7 hours per response).
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    10. Abstract: Applicants must submit NRC Form 313 to obtain a 
specific license to possess, use, or distribute byproduct or source 
material. The information is reviewed by the NRC to determine whether 
the applicant is qualified by training and experience, and has 
equipment, facilities, and procedures which are adequate to protect the 
public health and safety of the public, and minimize danger to life or 
property.
