AGENCY: 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 40,
``Domestic Licensing of Source Material''; NRC Form 244, ``Registration
Certificate--Use of Depleted Uranium under General License''; and NRC
Form 484, ``Domestic Monitoring Data Report.''
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0020 and 3150-0031.
3. How often the collection is required: Reports required under 10
CFR part 40 are collected 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 5 to 10 years. NRC
Form 244 is submitted when depleted uranium is received or transferred
under general license. NRC Form 484 is submitted biannually.
4. Who is required or asked to report:
10 CFR part 40: Applicants for and holders of NRC licenses
authorizing the receipt, possession, use, or transfer of radioactive
source and byproduct material.
NRC Form 244: Persons receiving, possessing, using, or transferring
depleted uranium under the general license established in 10 CFR
40.25(a).
NRC Form 484: Uranium recovery facility licensees reporting ground-
water monitoring data pursuant to 10 CFR 40.65.
5. The number of annual respondents:
10 CFR part 40: 271 (99 for NRC licensees and 172 for Agreement
State licensees).
NRC Form 484: Included in 10 CFR part 40, above.
NRC Form 244: 60 (20 for NRC licensees and 40 for Agreement State
licensees).
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request:
10 CFR part 40: 59,367 total hours (21,886 for NRC Licensees
(16,182 hours for reporting and 5,703 hours for recordkeeping) and
(37,481 for Agreement State Licensees (28,083 hours for reporting and
9,398 hours for recordkeeping).
NRC Form 484: Included in 10 CFR part 40, above.
NRC Form 244: 60 hours (20 hours for NRC licensees and 40 hours for
Agreement State licensees for reporting requirements).
7. Abstract: 10 CFR part 40 establishes requirements for licenses
for the receipt, possession, use, and transfer of radioactive source
and byproduct material. NRC Form 244 is used to report receipt and
transfer of depleted uranium under general license, as required by 10
CFR part 40. NRC Form 484 is used to report certain groundwater
monitoring data required by 10 CFR part 40 for uranium recovery
licensees. The application, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements
are necessary to permit the NRC to make a determination on whether the
possession, use, and transfer of source and byproduct material is in
conformance with the Commission's regulations for protection of public
health and safety.
Submit, by June 16, 2003, 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?
