Nuclear Regulatory Commission December 14, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). The NRC hereby informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a current valid OMB control number. 1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Revision. 2. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 664, ``General Licensee Registration''. 3. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 664. 4. How often the collection is required: Annually. 5. Who is required or asked to report: General Licensees of the NRC who possess devices subject to registration under 10 CFR 31.5. 6. An estimate of the number of responses: 1,000. 7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 1,000. 8. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 333 hours annually (1,000 respondents x 20 minutes per form). 9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 applies: Not applicable. 10. Abstract: NRC Form 664 is used by NRC general licensees to make reports regarding certain generally licensed devices subject to registration. The registration program allows NRC to better track general licensees, so that they can be contacted or inspected as necessary, and to make sure that generally licensed devices can be identified even if lost or damaged, and to further ensure that general licensees are aware of and understand the requirements for the possession of devices containing byproducts material. Greater awareness helps to ensure that general licensees will comply with the requirements for proper handling and disposal of generally licensed devices and would reduce the potential for incidents that could result in unnecessary radiation exposure to the public and contamination of property.
