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 titled, 
``Information Collection: 10 CFR part 40, ``Domestic Licensing of 
Source 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 August 25, 2015 (80 FR 51613).
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 40, 
Domestic Licensing of Source Material.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0020.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion. 
Reports required under part 40 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR) 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 need to be submitted every 5 to 
10 years. Information 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: Applicants for and 
holders of NRC licenses authorizing the receipt, possession, use, or 
transfer of radioactive source material.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 1,286 (368 [188 NRC 
responses + 178 recordkeepers + 2 third party responses] + 918 [200 
Agreement States responses + 717 recordkeepers + 1 third party 
response]).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 160 (50 NRC 
licensees + 110 Agreement States licensees).
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 10,425 
(5,036 NRC Licensees hours [2,773 reporting + 2,257 recordkeeping + 6 
third party response] + 5,389 Agreement States licensees' hours [1,709 
reporting + 3,677 recordkeeping + 3 third party response]).
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 40 establishes requirements for licenses 
for the receipt, possession, use, and transfer of radioactive source 
material. The application, reporting, recordkeeping, and third party 
notification requirements are necessary to permit the NRC to make a 
determination as to whether the possession, use, and transfer of source 
and byproduct material is in conformance with the Commission's 
regulations for protection of public health and safety.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 15th day of December, 2015.
