request to OMB and solicitation of
public comment.
SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a
submittal to OMB for review of
continued approval of information
collections under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Information Pertaining to the
Requirement To Be Submitted
1. The title of the information
collection: NRC Form 244, Registration
Certificate—Use of Depleted Uranium
under General License.
2. Current OMB approval number:
3150–0031.
3. How often the collection is
required: On occasion. NRC Form 244 is
submitted when depleted uranium is
received or transferred under general
license. Information on NRC Form 244
is collected and evaluated on a
continuing basis as events occur.
4. Who is required or asked to report:
Persons receiving, possessing, using, or
transferring depleted uranium under the
general license established in 10 CFR
40.25(a).
5. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 5 (2 NRC licensees and 3
Agreement State licensees).
6. The number of hours needed
annually to complete the requirement or
request: 5 (1 hour per response—2 hours
for NRC licensees and 3 hours for
Agreement State licensees).
7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 40 establishes
requirements for licenses for the receipt,
possession, use and transfer of
radioactive source and byproduct
material. NRC Form 244 is used to
report receipt and transfer of depleted
uranium under general license, as
required by section 40.25. The
registration certification information
required by NRC Form 244 is necessary
to permit the NRC to make a
determination on whether the
possession, use, and transfer of depleted
uranium source and byproduct material
is in conformance with the
Commission’s regulations for protection
of public health and safety.
Submit, by June 6, 2006, 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 burden estimate 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 be minimized,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology?

Section
205(a) of the Act (Pub. L. 109–53; 119
Stat. 462, 483; 19 U.S.C. 4034) provides
that certain entries of textile or apparel
goods of designated eligible countries
that are parties to the Dominican
Republic—Central America—United
States Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA–
DR) made on or after January 1, 2004
may be liquidated or reliquidated at the
applicable rate of duty for those goods
established in the Schedule of the
United States to Annex 3.3 of the
CAFTA–DR. Section 205(b) of the Act
requires the USTR to determine, in
accordance with Article 3.20 of the
CAFTA–DR, which CAFTA–DR
countries are eligible countries for
purposes of Section 205(a). Article 3.20
provides that importers may claim
retroactive duty treatment for imports of
certain textile or apparel goods entered
on or after January 1, 2004 and before
the entry into force of CAFTA–DR from
those CAFTA–DR countries that will
provide reciprocal retroactive duty
treatment or a benefit for textile or
apparel goods that is equivalent to
retroactive duty treatment.
Pursuant to Section 205(b) of the Act,
I have determined that Honduras and
Nicaragua will each provide an
equivalent benefit for textile or apparel
goods of the United States within the
meaning of Article 3.20 of the CAFTA–
DR. I therefore determine that Honduras
and Nicaragua are eligible countries for
purposes of Section 205 of the Act.

1934 requires transfer agents to register
with the Commission, the Comptroller
of the Currency, the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System, or the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
and to amend their registration.
It is estimated that on an annual basis,
the Commission will receive
approximately 100 applications for
registration on Form TA–1 from transfer
agents required to register as such with
the Commission. Included in this figure
are amendments made to Form TA–1 as
required by Rule 17Ac2–1(c). Based
upon past submissions, the staff
estimates that the average number of
hours necessary to comply with the
requirements of Rule 17Ac2–1 is one
and one-half hours, with a total burden
of 150 hours.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
control number.
