Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of 

information collection and solicitation 

of public comment. 

SUMMARY: The NRC has 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 current valid OMB control 

number.

1. Type of submission, new, revision, or 

extension: Revision. 

2. The title of the information collection:

10 CFR Part 30—Rules of General 

Applicability to Domestic Licensing 

of Byproduct Material. 

3. The form number if applicable: Not 

applicable. 

4. How often the collection is required:

Required reports are collected and 

evaluated on a continuing basis as 

events occur. There is a one-time 

submittal of information to receive 

a license. Renewal applications are 

submitted every 10 years. 

Information submitted in previous 

applications may be referenced 

without being resubmitted. In 

addition, recordkeeping must be 

performed on an on-going basis. 

5. Who will be required or asked to 

report: All persons applying for or 

holding a license to manufacture, 

produce, transfer, receive, acquire, 

own, possess, or use radioactive 

byproduct material. 

6. An estimate of the number of 

responses: 35,178 (7,648 NRC 

Licensee responses (3,163 

Responses + 4,485 Recordkeepers) 

and (27,530 Agreement State 

Licensee responses (11,384 

Responses + 16,146 

Recordkeepers)).

respondents: 20,631 (4,485 NRC 

licensees and 16,146 Agreement 

State licensees). 

8. An estimate of the number of hours 

needed annually to complete the 

requirement or request: 248,034 

(NRC licensees 53,948 hours 

[25,983 reporting + 27,965 

recordkeeping] and Agreement 

State licensees 194,086 hours 

[93,431 reporting + 100,655 

recordkeeping] or 8.2 hours per 

response and 6.2 hours per 

recordkeeper). 

9. An indication of whether section 

3507(d), Pub. L. 104–13 applies: 

Not applicable. 

10. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 30 establishes 

requirements that are applicable to 

all persons in the United States 

governing domestic licensing of 

radioactive byproduct material. The 

application, reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements are 

necessary to permit the NRC to 

make a determination whether the 

possession, use, and transfer of 

byproduct material is in 

conformance with the 

Commission’s regulations for 

protection of the public health and 

safety.
