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, “General Domestic Licenses for Byproduct 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 May 24, 2024, 89 FR 45927.
1. The title of the information collection: General Domestic Licenses for Byproduct Material.
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0016.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: 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. Devices meeting certain criteria must be registered annually.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Persons receiving, possessing, using, or transferring devices containing byproduct material.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 172,694 (10,418 reporting responses + 226 third-party responses + 162,050 recordkeepers).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 162,050 (18,843 NRC licensee respondents + 143,207, Agreement State licensee respondents).
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: 45,116 hours.
10. Abstract: Part 31 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), “General Domestic Licenses for Byproduct Material” 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 10 CFR part 31, which assist the NRC in determining, with reasonable assurance, that devices are operated safely and without radiological hazard to users or the public.
