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: NRC Form 749, ``Manual 
License Verification Report.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0223.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 749.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion. 
Licensees subject to 10 CFR part 37, ``Physical Protection of Byproduct 
Material'' license verification requirements must verify the legitimacy 
of the license with the issuing agency prior to transferring 
radioactive materials in quantities of concern.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Licensees are required 
to complete a license verification under the circumstances noted in 4 
above. A License Verification System (LVS) is available to provide an 
electronic method for fulfilling this requirement. In cases where a 
licensee is unable to use the LVS to perform a verification, they will 
provide NRC Form 749 for manual license verification.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 456.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 456.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 46 hours.
    10. Abstract: When a licensee is unable to use the License 
Verification System to perform their license verification prior to 
transferring radioactive materials in quantities of concern, a manual 
process is available, in which licensees submit the NRC Form 749, 
``Manual License Verification Report.'' The form provides the 
information necessary for the license issuing agencies to perform the 
verification on behalf of the licensee transferring the radioactive 
materials.

III. Specific Requests for Comments

    The NRC is seeking comments that address the following questions:
    1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC 
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical 
utility?
    2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection 
accurate?
    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected?
    4. How can the burden of the information collection on respondents 
be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology?

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 17th day of March 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
