II. Background
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
below.
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: Within 30
days after the first receipt or acquisition of depleted uranium. Any
changes in information furnished by the registrant in the NRC Form 244
shall be reported in writing to the Director, Office of Nuclear
Material Safety and Safeguards, with a copy to the Regional
Administrator of the appropriate U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Regional Office listed in appendix D of 10 CFR part 20; this report
shall be submitted within 30 days after the effective date of such
change.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Persons who receive,
acquire, possess, or use depleted uranium pursuant to the general
license established in 10 CFR 40.25(a).
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 9.4 responses (1.3 NRC
licensee responses and 8.1 Agreement State licensee responses).
[[Page 34467]]
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 7.2 respondents (1
NRC licensee and 6.2 Agreement State licensees).
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 9.4 hours (1.3 NRC
licensee hours and 8.1 Agreement State licensee hours).
10. Abstract: Part 40 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), 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 Sec. 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.
III. Specific Requests for Comments
The NRC is seeking 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 estimate of the burden of the information collection
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 on respondents
be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology?
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 11th day of June, 2015.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
