Abstract: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations in Part 40 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations establish procedures and criteria for the issuance of licenses to receive title to, receive, possess, use, transfer, or deliver source and byproduct material. The application, reporting, recordkeeping, and third party notification requirements are necessary to permit the NRC to make a determination as to 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.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The overall burden increased by 2,047 hours from 16,422 hours to 18,469 hours. The increase in burden was due to a more accurate estimate of NRC licensees, which increased from 65 to 91. Additionally, the ratio of NRC licensees to AS licensees also increased, resulting in a total increase from 540 to 774 licensees. The ratio of Agreement State materials licenses to NRC materials licenses has increased from 7.3:1 to 7.5:1 since the last renewal. This ratio is based on the annual estimate provided by the Agreement States. NRC uses the ratio of the total of NRC materials licensees to the total number of Agreement State materials licensees to estimate the number of Agreement State respondents. The current ratio is 7.5 (7.5 Agreement State licensees: 1 NRC licensees), based on 2,000 total NRC licensees and 15,000 Agreement State licensees, according to NRC’s 2024‑2025 Information Digest (NUREG‑1350, Volume 35).
