Part 40 of 10 CFR establishes requirements for the receipt, possession, use, and transfer of radioactive source and byproduct materials. Section 40.25 established a general license authorizing the use of depleted uranium contained in industrial products or devices for the purpose of providing a concentrated mass in a small volume of the product or device. The NRC Form 244 is used to report the receipt and transfer of depleted uranium, as required by § 40.25. The registration information required by the NRC Form 244 enables the NRC to make a determination on whether the possession, use, or transfer of depleted uranium source and byproduct material is in conformance with the NRCâs regulations for the protection of public health and safety.
The number of registration certificates submitted annually by NRC licensees has decreased from 1.3 certificates to 1 certificate, a decrease of approximately 0.3 hours (1 certificate x 1 hour per certificate). The number of registration certificates submitted by Agreement State licensees has been estimated to have decreased from 8.1 to 6.5, a decrease of approximately 1.6 hours (6.5 certificates x 1 hour per certificate = 6.5 hours). The decrease in form submissions may also be attributed to natural fluctuations in the needs of NRC and Agreement State licensees and license applicants from year-to-year. This explains the decrease in reporting burden for NRC and Agreement State licensees.
The increase in overall burden can be attributed to increased recordkeeping and third party disclosures for both NRC and Agreement States. 10 CFR Part 40 requires that licensees keep NRC Form 244 for the life of the license. Therefore, this requirements creates a recordkeeping burden for all licensees who file an NRC Form 244. Data contained in the NRCâs Web Based Licensing System shows active licenses for some licensees who manufacture or transfer industrial devices with depleted uranium. Based on this data, some licensees should furnish copies of this form to their customers. This would also apply to Agreement State manufacturers and distributors of industrial devices containing depleted uranium.
The change in cost also reflects a decrease in the annual labor cost for material licensees from $268 to $263 per hour.
