NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

Agency Information Collection

Activities: Submission for OMB

Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of

information collection and solicitation

of public comment.

SUMMARY: The NRC recently submitted

to OMB for review the following

proposal for the collection of

information under the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. Chapter 35). 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.

1. Type of submission, new, revision,

or extension: New.

2. The title of the information

collection: General Licensee

Registration.

3. The form number, if applicable:

NRC Form 664.

4. How often the collection is

required: Annually.

5. Who will be required or asked to

report: General Licensees of the NRC

who possess devices subject to

registration under 10 CFR 31.5.

6. An estimate of the number of

annual respondents: 4,300.

7. An estimate of the total number of

hours needed annually to complete the

requirement or request: 1,433 hours

annually (4,300 respondents x 20

minutes per form).

8. An indication of whether Section

3504(h), Pub. L. 96–511 applies:

Applicable.

9. Abstract: NRC Form 664 would be

used by NRC general licensees to make

reports regarding certain generally

licensed devices subject to registration.

The registration program is intended to

allow NRC to better track general

licensees, so that they can be contacted

or inspected as necessary, and to make

sure that generally licensed devices can

be identified even if lost or damaged,

and to further ensure that general

licensees are aware of and understand

the requirements for the possession of

devices containing byproduct material.

Greater awareness helps to ensure that

general licensees will comply with the

requirements for proper handling and

disposal of generally licensed devices

and would reduce the potential for

incidents that could result in

unnecessary radiation exposure to the

public and contamination of property.

A copy of NRC Form 664 and the final

OMB supporting statement may be

viewed free of charge at the NRC Public

Document Room, One White Flint

North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Room

1F23, Rockville, MD 20852. OMB

clearance requests are also available at

the NRC Worldwide web site: http://

www.nrc.gov/NRC/PUBLIC/OMB/

index.html. The OMB supporting

statement, and NRC Form 664 will be

available on the NRC home page for 60

days after the signature date of this

notice.

Comments and questions should be

directed to the OMB reviewer by

December 18, 2000. Comments received

after this date will be considered if it is

practical to do so, but assurance of

consideration cannot be given to

comments received after this date.
