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, ``NRC 
Form 244, Registration Certificate--Use of Depleted Uranium Under 
General License.'' 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 June 16, 2015 (80 FR 34466).
    1. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 244, 
``Registration Certificate--Use of Depleted Uranium Under General 
License.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0031.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 244.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Within 30 
days after the first receipt or acquisition of depleted uranium. Any 
changes in information furnished by the registrant in the NRC Form 244 
shall be reported in writing to the Director, Office of Nuclear 
Material Safety and Safeguards, with a copy to the Regional 
Administrator of the appropriate U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
Regional Office listed in appendix D of part 20 of title 10 of the Code 
of Federal Regulations (10 CFR); this report shall be submitted within 
30 days after the effective date of such change.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Persons who receive, 
acquire, possess, or use depleted uranium pursuant to the general 
license established in 10 CFR 40.25(a).
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 9.4 responses (1.3 NRC 
licensee responses and 8.1 Agreement State licensee responses).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 7.2 respondents (1 
NRC licensee and 6.2 Agreement State licensees).
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 9.4 
hours (1.3 NRC licensee hours and 8.1 Agreement State licensee hours).
    10. Abstract: Part 40 of 10 CFR establishes requirements for the 
receipt, possession, use, and transfer of radioactive source and 
byproduct materials. Section 40.25 established a general license 
authorizing the use of depleted uranium contained in industrial 
products or devices for the purpose of providing a concentrated mass in 
a small volume of the product or device. The NRC Form 244 is used to 
report the receipt and transfer of depleted uranium, as required by 
Sec.  40.25. The registration information required by the NRC Form 244 
enables the NRC to make a determination on whether the possession, use, 
or transfer of depleted uranium source and byproduct material is in 
conformance with the NRC's regulations for the protection of public 
health and safety.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 16th day of November 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Tremaine Donnell,
NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
