NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection: 
Comment Request

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information 
collection 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: ``General Licensee 
Registration,'' NRC Form 664.
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0198.
    3. How often the collection is required: Annually.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: General Licensees of the NRC 
who possess devices subject to registration under 10 CFR 31.5.
    5. The estimated number of annual respondents: 1,000.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 333 hours annually (1,000 respondents x 20 minutes per 
form).
    7. 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 byproduct 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.
    Submit, by November 20, 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?
    A copy of the draft supporting statement may be viewed free of

Rockville Pike, Room O-1 F21, Rockville, MD 20852. OMB clearance
