Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) Part 30 establishes requirements that are
applicable to all persons in the United States governing domestic
licensing of radioactive byproduct material. The application,
reporting and recordkeeping requirements are necessary to permit
the NRC to make a determination whether the possession, use, and
transfer of byproduct material is in conformance with the
Commission's regulations for protection of the public health and
safety.
The overall burden has
decreased by 16,855 hours from 319,552 hours to 302,697 hours.
Based on NRC's estimates, the total number of licensees has
decreased by 745 from 22,836 to 22,091. There was a reduction in
the number of NRC licensees, which decreased from 3,869 to 2,959,
in part as a result of Virginia and New Jersey becoming Agreement
States. Some decrease may also be due to NRC licensees terminating
their licenses. The ratio used to estimate Agreement State
respondents changed from 4.8 to 6.5 and the estimated number of
Agreement State licensees increased from 18,571 to 19,132. The
ratio changed because the difference in the number of NRC licensees
versus Agreement States licensees has increased (Virginia and New
Jersey became Agreement States). The overall decrease in the number
of licensees is tied to a corresponding decrease in the number of
expected responses for various sections, resulting in an overall
decrease in the burden hour estimate. There was a change in the
overall cost because the hourly rate increased from $238 to
$273.
