Abstract: NRC Form 664 is used by NRC general licensees to make reports regarding certain generally licensed devices subject to annual 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. Also, the registration program ensures that general licensees are aware of and understand the requirements for the possession, use and disposal of devices containing byproduct material. Greater awareness helps to ensure that general licensees will comply with the regulatory 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.

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The change in the overall burden estimate for licensees to register general licensed devices containing radioisotopes on NRC Form 664 has decreased because of a re-estimate of the number of annual responses based on the actual number of responses received during the past 3 years. The number of registration responses are expected to decrease by 207 (from 840 to 633) resulting in a reduction of 69 hours (from 280 hours to 211). The rate has increased from $257per hour to $274 per hour in accordance with 10 CFR Part 170. The change in annual burden overall estimate for registration of NRC authorized general licensed devices (GLDs) containing radionuclides on NRC Form 664 has decreased by $14,146 (from $71,960 to $57,814) primarily due to a revised number of expected inquiries and decreased inquiries related to GLDs containing Nuclear Accelerated Produced Materials (NARM).
