## 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 March 23, 2021 (86 FR 15512).                

                    1.                     *The title of the information collection:*                     Part 31 of title 10 of the                     *Code of Federal Regulations*                     (10 CFR), “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:*                     167,858 (12,277 reporting responses + 181 third-party responses + 155,400 recordkeepers).                

                    8.                     *The estimated number of annual respondents:*                     155,400 (18,500 NRC licensee respondents + 136,900, Agreement State licensee respondents).                

                    9.                     *The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request:*                     43,803 hours (4,905 reporting hours + 48 third-party disclosure hours + 38,850 recordkeeping hours).                

                    10.                     *Abstract:*10 CFR part 31, “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.
