NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC-2011-0263]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) invites public
comment about our intention to request the OMB's approval for renewal
of an existing information collection that is summarized below. We are
required to publish this notice in the Federal Register 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 31, General
Domestic Licenses for Byproduct Material.
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0016.
3. How often the collection is required: 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.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Persons receiving,
possessing, using, or transferring devices containing byproduct
material.
5. The number of annual respondents: 23,300 (Approximately 2,400
NRC general licensees and 20,900 Agreement State general licensees).
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 10,998.5 hours (1,061 hours for NRC licensees [461 hours
reporting + 600 hours recordkeeping] + 9,937.5 hours for Agreement
State licensees [4,712.5 hours reporting + 5,225 hours recordkeeping]).
7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 31 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 Part 31, which assist NRC in determining with reasonable
assurance that devices are operated safely and without radiological
hazard to users or the public.
Submit, by January 27, 2012, 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?
