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.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There was a slight increase in the number of forms submitted during the years 2017, 2018, and 2019, mainly due to the licensee’s preference of using the manual verification form over the LVS. In the last clearance, the NRC estimated an average of 456 manual license verifications per year. The current submission estimates 587 manual verifications annually. The information provided by licensees will ensure that only authorized licensees obtain radioactive materials in authorized amounts. The collection will allow the NRC or Agreement State to confirm that (1) a license is valid and accurate, (2) a licensee is authorized to acquire quantities and types of radioactive materials, and (3) that the licensee is authorized to receive radioactive material at the location requested for delivery. This also adds 5,520 responses from the online License Verification system. Previously these responses were not included in this clearance. The burden hours in the previous renewal were improperly calculated and should have been 59 hours and not 456 hours. The actual change in burden is an increase of 386 hours due to the increased number of annual verification requests..
