Reports required under 10 CFR Part 40 are collected and evaluated on a continuing basis as events occur. There is a one-time submittal of information to receive a license. Renewal applications need to be submitted every 5 to 10 years. Information in previous applications may be referenced without being resubmitted. In addition, recordkeeping must be performed on an on-going basis. 4. *Who is required or asked to report:* 10 CFR Part 40: Applicants for and holders of NRC licenses authorizing the receipt, possession, use, or transfer of radioactive source and byproduct material. 5. *The number of annual respondents:* 99 (33 NRC Licensees + 66 Agreement State Licensees). 6. *The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request:* 10,548 hours (4,256 NRC Licensees hours [2,184 reporting + 2,072 recordkeeping] + 6,292 Agreement States Licensees hours [2,500 reporting + 3,792 recordkeeping]). 7. *Abstract:* 10 CFR Part 40 establishes requirements for licenses for the receipt, possession, use and transfer of radioactive source and byproduct material. The application, reporting and recordkeeping requirements are necessary to permit the NRC to make a determination on 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.
