collected and evaluated on a continuing basis as events occur. 
Applications for new licenses and amendments may be submitted at any 
time. Generally, renewal applications are submitted every ten years and 
for major fuel cycle facilities updates of the safety demonstration 
section are submitted every two years. Nuclear material control and 
accounting information is submitted in accordance with specified 
instructions. Nuclear criticality safety training program information 
pursuant to DG-3008 is submitted with the application or renewal.
    4. Who will be required or asked to report: Applicants for and 
holders of specific NRC licenses to receive title to, own, acquire, 
deliver, receive, possess, use, or initially transfer special nuclear 
material.
    5. The number of annual responses: 1,123.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 77,835 (an average of approximately 64.9 hours per response

Regulatory Guide DG-3008 provides guidance on an acceptable nuclear 
criticality safety training program. The information in the 
applications, reports and records is used by NRC to make licensing and 
other regulatory determinations concerning the use of special nuclear 
material. The revised estimate of burden reflects the addition of 
requirements for documentation for termination or transfer of licensed 
activities.
