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: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The change in the overall burden estimate for licensees to register generally 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 116 (from 525 to 409), resulting in a reduction of about 39 hours (from 175 hours to 136). The rate has increased from $263 per hour to $288 per hour in accordance with 10 CFR Part 170. The change in annual burden overall estimate for registration of NRC authorized generally licensed devices containing radionuclides on NRC Form 664 has decreased by $11,249 (from $46,025 to $34,776) due to a revised number of expected calls for assistance, including the elimination of naturally occurring and accelerator produced radioactive material (NARM) related inquiries from the figure which are no longer regularly received.
