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 31,

    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0016.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: N/A.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Reports are 
submitted as events occur. General license registration requests may be 
submitted at any time. Changes to the information on the registration 
may be submitted as they occur.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Persons receiving, 
possessing, using, or transferring devices containing byproduct 
material.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 140,281 (10,681

    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 10,681 (993 NRC

Regulations (10 CFR) establishes general licenses for the possession 
and use of byproduct material in certain devices. General licensees are 
required to keep testing records and submit event reports identified in 
10 CFR part 31, which assist the NRC in determining, with reasonable 
assurance, that devices are operated safely and without radiological 
hazard to users or the public.
