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: ``10 CFR part 40,
Domestic Licensing of Source Material.''
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0020.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion.
Reports required under Part 40 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) 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 need to be submitted every 5 to
10 years. Information in previous applications may be referenced
without being resubmitted. In addition, recordkeeping must be performed
on an on-going basis.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Applicants for and
holders of NRC licenses authorizing the receipt, possession, use, or
transfer of radioactive source material.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 1,286 (368 [188 NRC
responses + 178 recordkeepers + 2 third party responses] + 918 [200
Agreement States responses + 717 recordkeepers + 1 third party
response]).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 160 (50 NRC
licensees + 110 Agreement States licensees).
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 10,425 (5,036 NRC
Licensees hours [2,773 reporting + 2,257 recordkeeping + 6 third party
response] + 5,389 Agreement States licensees' hours [1,709 reporting +
3,677 recordkeeping + 3 third party response]).
10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 40 establishes requirements for licenses
for the receipt, possession, use, and transfer
[[Page 51614]]
of radioactive source material. The application, reporting,
recordkeeping, and third party notification requirements are necessary
to permit the NRC to make a determination as to 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.
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 20th day of August 2015.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
