## 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 April 10, 2018, 83 FR 15421.                

                    1.                     *The title of the information collection:*                     Title 10 of the                     *Code of Federal Regulations*                     (10 CFR) part 31, “General Domestic Licenses for Byproduct Material.”                

                    2.                     *OMB approval number:*                     3150-0016.                

                    3.                     *Type of submission:*                     Revision.                

                    4.                     *The form number if applicable:*                     N/A.                

                    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.                

                    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:*                     140,281 (10,681 responses + 129,600 recordkeepers).                

                    8.                     *The estimated number of annual respondents:*                     10,681 (993 NRC licensee respondents + 9,688 Agreement State respondents).                

                    9.                     *An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request:*                     36,638 hours (4,926 hours for NRC licensees + 31,712 hours for Agreement State licensees).                

                    10.                     *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 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.                

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 9th day of August, 2018.
