II. Background

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to 
request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized 
below.
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 30, ``Rules 
of General Applicability to Domestic Licensing of Byproduct Material.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0017.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: 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.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: All persons applying 
for or holding a license to manufacture, produce, transfer, receive, 
acquire, own, possess, or use radioactive byproduct material.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 179,423 (22,044 NRC 
Licensee responses [1,212 reporting responses + 2,600 for recordkeeping 
+ 18,232 third-party disclosures] and (157,379 Agreement State Licensee 
responses [13,790 reporting responses + 17,988 for recordkeeping + 
125,601 third-party disclosures]).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 20,588 (2,600 NRC 
licensees and 17,988 Agreement State licensees).
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 273,991 (NRC licensees 
32,803 hours [15,318 hours for reporting + 15,615 hours for 
recordkeeping + 1,870 hours for third-party disclosures] and Agreement 
State licensees 241,188 hours [111,209 hours for reporting + 117,091 
hours for recordkeeping + 12,888 hours for third-party disclosures]).
    10. Abstract: Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (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.
