Consolidated guidance is published in "Consolidated Guidance About Materials Licensesm," (NUREG-1556), Volume 16, Program-Specific Guidance About Licenses Authorizing Distribution to General Licensees is most applicable to general license uses. (Appendix K and L provide specific guidance to 31.5 general licensees.)
Fees
Generally licensees subject to registration are required to pay an annual registration fee to the NRC. These fees are explained in our Materials Fee Billing Handbook. Refer to the schedule of materials fees for the fees required for each category of license and each type of fee.
Forms
There is no license application for a general license. A general license is a de facto license based on the possession of generally licensed devices. Forms that are useful for meeting reporting requirements or are required for registration include:
- NRC Form 664
Registration of Generally Licensed Devices - NRC Form 483
Registration Certificate -- in Vitro Testing with Byproduct Material
under General License
- NRC Form 653
Transfers of Industrial Devices Report (Used by vendors of GL devices to report
distributions to 31.5 general licensees. Provides information to general
licensees on what needs to be in the report.)
