Abstract:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations in Part 40 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 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.

Short Statement:
The overall burden increased by 6,503 hours from 10,425 to 16,928 hours. The net increase in burden results from an overall decrease in estimated NRC licensee burden (-2,088.6 hours) and an increase in Agreement State licensee burden (+8,591.5 hours). --The NRC staff adjusted the estimated number of materials licensees responding to the reporting and recordkeeping requirements to reflect an increase in transfer of control of materials licensees and increased site decommissioning under 40.42(j)(2) (sites may refer to a location of use stated in the license, and not necessarily a license termination). This went from 0 NRC licensee respondents in the past renewal to 6 NRC licensee respondents for this renewal (0 to 600 hours increase.) --The estimated number of Agreement State licensees submitting radiation surveys under 40.42(j)(2) increased from 0 to 39. At 100 hours per report, this represents an increase of 3,900 hours. The NRC staff believes this increase corresponds to an increase in decommissioning of sites and license terminations, which is a trend as seen by the gradual decrease in NRC and Agreement State licenses over the years. --The NRC has adjusted the reporting requirements for licensees in the Materials Licensing Program (NRC and Agreement State) to reflect a new information collection under 10 CFR 40.13(a) and 10 CFR 40.51(b)(3). The regulations in 10 CFR 40.51(b)(3) provide for the transfer of source material to persons exempt from licensing under 10 CFR 40.13(a). Although the regulations in Part 40 do not require prior written approval for transfers of unimportant quantities of source material to persons exempt from licensing, some licensees have requested NRC approval for these transfers. As a result, the NRC staff has included the burden for the voluntary reporting of requests for approval of exempt transfers. The NRC has drafted guidance for licensees who choose to submit this information on a voluntary basis. The NRC estimates that two responses will be received during the next three years from NRC licensees. The burden hours for preparation of the documentation for this approval has been estimated at 100 hours, for a total of 200 hours of burden for NRC licensees. The number of estimated Agreement State responses for this information collection has been calculated using the aforementioned ratio of Agreement State materials licenses to NRC materials licenses, resulting in a burden increase of 1300 hours (13 AS licensees x 100 hours per response). This change results in a 1,500 hour overall increase (200 hours for NRC licensees + 1,300 hours for AS licensees.) The fifteen responses and 1,500 hour increase associated with this change are due to a program change due to agency discretion and are marked as such on the submission in ROCIS.
