SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR NRC FORM 314 CERTIFICATE OF DISPOSITION OF MATERIALS (10 CFR Sections 30.36(c),40.42(c),70.38(c))

(3150-0028)

EXTENSION Descriotion of the Information Collection NRC Form 314 is submitted by a materials licensee who wishes to terminate its license. The form provides information needed by NRC to determine whether the licensee has radioactive materials on hand which must be transferred or otherwise disposed of prior to expiration or termination of the license.

l l

A.

Justification i

1,:

Need for and Practical Utility of the Information Collection NRC licenses to possess and use specified radioactive materbls are issued for a term of five years. A notice of expiration of license is mailed to such licensees 120 days prior to l

. expiration of the license. Included with the notice is a set of application forms for use if the

[

licensee wishes to apply for renewal of the license, and a copy of NRC Form 314, " Certificate of Disposition of Materials," for use if renewal is not desired. If the licensee does not submit

, g an application for renewal of the license, NRC requires, as part ofits process for terminating L

'f the license and closing out the file, that the licensee notify the Commission in writing of that j

l termination decision (10 CFR 30.36(c),40.42(c),70.38(c)). In connection with, but separate i

from, that notification, licensees submit an NRC Form 314, which furnishes information regarding transfer or other disposition of the radioactive material or indicates that no materials have been procured.

2.

Aaency Use of the Information The NRC staff reviews NRC Form 314 to determine whether the licensee has materials on hand which must be transferred or otherwise disposed of prior to expiration or termination of the license and, if materials have been transferred or disposed of, to determine whether transfer or disposition of the materials has been in accordance with NRC regulations. The information submitted on Form 314 constitutes part of the basis for the determination by NRC that the facility has been cleared of radioactive material before the facility is released for L

unrestricted use.

3.

Reduction of Burden Throuah information Technoloav There are no legal obstacles to reducing the burden associated with this information collection. However, because of the types of information and the infrequency of submission, the application form does not lend itself readily to the use of automated information technology for submission.

L 2

. 4.

Effort to identifv Dun!! cation and Use Similar Information The Information Requirements Control Autcraated System (IRCAS) was searched to identify duplication. None was found. There is no similar information available to the NRC.

5.

Effort to Reduce Small Business Burden

' The information is required from all materials licensees terminating their licenses. Some of the licensees who use byproduct, source, or special nuclear material are small entities. To the extent that small entities may possess less material than large entities, the burden of

~, accounting for it on the form might be proportionately less. However, since the need for NRC l

l to determine whether radioactive materials have been safely transferred or disposed of and F

whether the facility has been cleared of radioactive material before release is the same for large and small entities, it is not possible to reduce the burden on small entities by less L

frequent or less complete reporting of this one-time requirement.

l l

6.

Consecuences to Federal Program or Policy Activities if the Collection is not Conducted or is

[

- Conducted Less Frecuentiv This report is only submitted once, upon termination of the license.' If the report were not submitted at that time, the NRC would not be able to determine readily whether any i

i radioactive materials remain on the site, whether disposition of materials has been made in

.,. accordance with the regulations, and whether the site has been cleared of radioactive

'f materials and may be released for unrestricted use.

71 Circumstances Which Justifv Variation from OMB Guidelines There are no variations from OMB Guidelines.

8.

Consultations Outside the Aaency An opportunity to comment on the information collection requirements in NRC Form 314 is being provided in the Federal Register Notice published for this clearance extension.

9.

Payment or Gift to Resoondents Not applicable.

10.. Confidentiality of Information Not applicable. No confidentialinformation is requested.

11. Sensitive Questions l

12. Estimated Burden and Burden Hour Cost Respondents are firms, institutions, and individuals holding NRC licenses to possess and use

. radioactive materials who do not wish to renew those licenses.

Approximately 400 respondents annually file one NRC Form 314.

Each form requires, on average, approximately 0.5 hour5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> to prepare.

400 x 0.5 hour5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> = a total annual burden for all respondents of 200 hours0.00231 days <br />0.0556 hours <br />3.306878e-4 weeks <br />7.61e-5 months <br />.

The annual cost to the public, calculated at a rate of $125 per hour, is estimated to be

$25,000.

13. Estimate of Other Additional Costs None.. For licensees submitting Form 314, it is most likely that purchases of equipment and 4

services were made (1) prior to October 1,1995, (2) to achieve regulatory compliance with requirements not associated with the information collection, (3) for reasons other than to provide information or keep records for the govemment, or (4) as part of customary and usual business or private practice 3.

14. Estima*=d Annuali>ad Cost to the Federal Govemment The annual cost to the' Federal govemroent is estimated to be $14,200 (20 hrs professional @

$125/hr = $2,500 plus 180 hours0.00208 days <br />0.05 hours <br />2.97619e-4 weeks <br />6.849e-5 months <br /> clerical @ $65/hr = $11,700). This cost is fully recovered l

g.

, f*- through fee assessments to NRC licensees pursuant to 10 CFR Parts 170 and 171.
