AGENCY:
SUMMARY: 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
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211000
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 × 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.
A copy of the final supporting
statement may be viewed free of charge
at the NRC Public Document Room, One
White Flint North, 11555 Rockville

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Trade
Act of 2002, signed by the President on
August 6, 2002, provides that the
President shall conduct environmental
reviews of [certain] trade agreements
consistent with Executive Order
13121—(Environmental Review of
Trade Agreements (64 Fed. Reg. 63,169,
Nov. 18, 1999) and its implementing
guidelines (65 Fed. Reg. 79,442, Dec. 19,
2000) and report on such reviews to the
Committee on Ways and Means of the
House of Representatives and the
Committee on Finance of the Senate.
The Order and guidelines are available
at https://www.ustr.gov/Trade_Sectors/
Environment/Section_Index.html.
The purpose of environmental
reviews is to ensure that policymakers
and the public are informed about
reasonably foreseeable environmental
impacts of trade agreements (both
positive and negative), to identify
complementarities between trade and
environmental objectives, and to help
shape appropriate responses if
environmental impacts are identified.
Reviews are intended to be one tool,
among others, for integrating
environmental information and analysis
into the fluid, dynamic process of trade
negotiations. USTR and the Council on
Environmental Quality jointly oversee
implementation of the Order and
Guidelines. USTR, through the Trade
Policy Staff Committee (TPSC), is
responsible for conducting the
individual reviews.
Written Comments
In order to facilitate prompt
processing of submissions of comments,
the Office of the United States Trade
Representative strongly urges and
