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 40, 
``Domestic Licensing of Source Material.''
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0020.
    3. Type of submission: Revision.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Reports 
required under 10 CFR part 40 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 15 
to 40 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: 1,390 (750 reporting 
responses + 6 third party disclosure responses + 634 recordkeepers).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 634.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 16,928 (11,366 reporting 
+ 5,544 recordkeeping + 18 third party disclosure).
    10. Abstract: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 
regulations in 10 CFR part 40 establish procedures and criteria for the 
issuance of licenses to receive title to, receive, possess, use, 
transfer, or deliver source and byproduct 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.

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 27th day of July 2018.
