II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of 
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, 
``Domestic Licensing of Source Material.'' 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.
    The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment 
period on this information collection on February 18, 2022, 87 FR 9392.
    1. The title of the information collection: Part 40 of title 10 of 
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Domestic Licensing of 
Source Material.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0020.
    3. Type of submission: Revision.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: 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 need to be 
submitted every 15 to 40 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: 1,341.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 582 (72 NRC 
licensees + 510 Agreement State licensees).
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 16,422 hours (11,284 
hours reporting + 5,123 hours recordkeeping + 15 hours third party 
disclosure).
    10. Abstract: The NRC regulations in 10 CFR part 40 establish 
procedures and criteria for the issuance of licenses to receive title 
to, receive, possess, use, transfer, or deliver source and byproduct 
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.
