Abstract: 10 CFR Part 40 establishes requirements for licenses for the receipt, possession, use and transfer of radioactive source and byproduct material. The application, reporting and recordkeeping requirements are necessary to permit the NRC to make a determination on whether the possession, use, and transfer of source and byproduct material is in conformance with the Commission's regulations for protection of public health and safety.

Short Statement: The overall burden has decreased by 54,312 from 65,418 to 11,106 hours. These reductions are due to the implementation of a new data collection procedure that serves to re-baseline the information collection data of 10 CFR Part 40. It also refines the numbers of the current NRC and Agreement States licensees, while reducing the ambiguity in data presentations. The new data collection procedure requires all program managers in 10 CFR Part 40 (uranium recovery, uranium decommissioning, fuel cycle facility, and source materials programs), to submit updated information of their NRC licensee universe, requirements applicable to their licensees, and burden hours associated with reporting and recordkeeping for those requirements, to the information collection project manager; thus increases the accuracy of the collected information. This is in contrast to the previous procedure where the information collection project manager had to rely on the research of outdated documents, to make projections on the number of NRC and Agreement States licensees for the information collection renewal period, which are often based on judgment calls. Because of this new data collection procedure, the total number of NRC licensees was more refined and resulted in a reduction from 68 to 51 licensees. The refinement in the number of NRC licensees in 10 CFR Part 40 programs further resulted in a more accurate and reduction in the number of Agreement States licensees, from 272 to 149 licensees. In the previous data collection procedure, to estimate the number Agreement States licensees, the information collection project manager multiplied the number of estimated NRC licensees for all programs (i.e., 72) by a factor of 4, which resulted in 288 Agreement States licensees. With the new data collection procedure, three of the 10 CFR Part 40 programs (uranium recovery, uranium decommissioning, and fuel cycle facility) know that there are exactly 20 Agreement States licensees among them (12, 8, and 0, respectively). Because of the unavailable information on the number of Agreement States licensees associated with the remaining program (source materials), the information collection project manager multiplied the number of estimated NRC licensees of this program (i.e., 28) by a factor of 4.6, which resulted in 129 licensees, totaling 149 Agreement States licensees for all four programs. Along with the refinement and reduction in the numbers of NRC and Agreement States licensees, further reduction in burden is attributed to the new data collection procedure which requires all program managers in 10 CFR Part 40 to update information on the requirements applicable to their licensees and burden hours associated with reporting and recordkeeping for those requirements. The updated information show a reduction in the numbers of respondents, from previously reported 340 to the current 99 respondents, and the total number of responses per respondents, from previously reported 894 to the current 589 responses. Thus, the reduction in total number of respondents and total number of responses translates into reduction of total burden hours, from previously reported 65,418 hours to the current 11,106 hours. In addition, there was a change in the overall cost due to an increase in the hourly fee rate from $238/hr to $274/hr.
