TO:

All New, Current, or Previous Users of Devices Subject to General License Registration

PURPOSE:

To Track and Account for Certain Generally Licensed Devices for Public Protection

SUBJECT:

ANNUAL REGISTRATION OF GENERALLY LICENSED DEVICES

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires annual registration of certain devices
that are possessed under the general license issued in Section 31.5 of Title 10 U.S. Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR 31.5). Devices subject to registration include those containing
the radioactive material and activity listed in Table 1. You are receiving this notice because
NRC records indicate that you have one or more such devices. Information about the general
license registration program is available on the Internet at
http://www.nrc.gov/materials/miau/miau-reg-initiatives/gen-license.html.
Mail the registration fee (check or money order payable to the USNRC) or credit card
authorization and a copy of completed SECTION 1, Page 1 of 2, in the small enclosed
envelope to:
U.S. Bank
Accounts Receivable Team - GL Registration
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
P. O. Box 979051
St Louis, MO 63197-9000
IMPORTANT
YOUR PAYMENT WILL NOT BE CREDITED TO YOUR ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU PUT
YOUR GENERAL LICENSE NUMBER (GL-XXXXX-X) ON THE CHECK OR OTHER
PAYMENT METHOD. THE GL NUMBER CAN BE FOUND ON SECTION 1, PAGE 1 of 2, IN
THE UPPER LEFT CORNER.
Note that under 10 CFR 31.5(c)(11), the attached General Licensee Registration Package
must be completed, signed, and returned to the NRC within 30 days from the date of this
letter. READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO COMPLETING THE PACKAGE.
Mail the completed package in the large enclosed envelope to:
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
ATTN: Accounts Receivable Team
OCFO, Mail Stop T-9 E10
11555 Rockville Pike
Rockville, MD 20852-2738
Registration Fee: Commission regulations (10 CFR 170.31, Category 3Q) require that you
submit a registration fee with each registration on an annual basis. The registration fee is
subject to change yearly, and you are required to submit the fee that is in effect as of the date
of this letter. If you wish to pay by credit card, you need to complete NRC Form 629,
"Authorization for Payment by Credit Card." You can obtain NRC Form 629 by accessing the
NRC Public Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/forms/nrc629.pdf. If you
are unable to access this information on our Website, or if you have any questions about the
fee or payment options, call 301-415-7554.

The REGISTRATION FEE is $310.00
NRC amended 10 CFR Parts 170.11 and 170.31 to provide that 10 CFR Part 170 fees be assessed to Federal agencies, where
applicable, in accordance with the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Therefore, those Federal facilities required to register certain
generally licensed devices in their possession will be required to pay the annual registration fee.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING NRC FORM 664
"GENERAL LICENSEE REGISTRATION"
Review all six sections of this registration form. If any information is incorrect or missing, make corrections in the
applicable boxes. If you have more devices than space provided in the form, copy the form before starting, as needed.
Use black ink and print using CAPITAL LETTERS. Start information in the first box provided. If the information contains
a number which contains a dash (-) or a decimal point (.), include the dash or decimal point as an individual character.
Use the "Ø" character to represent the number 0 (zero).
Verify information about the devices by reviewing the label on the outside of the device. For safety reasons, DO NOT
TRY TO TAKE APART any device to verify this information. If you are uncertain how to identify the device's label,
contact the device's manufacturer or an authorized service agent for this information. Also contact the manufacturer for
any additional information about NRC requirements. You may also review 10 CFR 31.5 and other applicable regulations
on the NRC web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/, or review specific information about the
general licensee project at http://www.nrc.gov/materials/miau/miau-reg-initiatives/gen-license.html
Note to specific licensees: If you believe the device(s) listed on the registration form are possessed under your specific
license, then verify the device label does not state the device is subject to a general license. If the labels indicate the
device is subject to a general license, then complete the registraion form as instructed below. If not, complete the
registration form as instructed below; however, in Section 2, follow the instructions for "not in possession of device" and
complete one Section 4 page per device transferred to your specific license.
Section 1 - General Licensee Information. Provide the requested information about you, the general licensee.
On Page 1, provide the street address/location where your device(s) are used. For portable devices, provide the storage
location. P. O. Box addresses are not allowed.
Do not write in the box marked For NRC Use Only.
On Page 2, provide the name, telephone number, and title of the individual responsible for your device(s), and a mailing
address where correspondence about your device(s) can be sent. The mailing address should be specific tothe physical
location where the devices are used and/or stored (P.O. boxes may be used if this is the only available mailing address).
The individual indicated in this section as responsible for your device(s) must also verify and sign the form in Section 5.
Section 2 - Devices Subject to Registration. This section lists each device subject to registration and in your
possession, according to NRC records. Devices subject to registration include those containing at least one of the
radionuclides listed in Table 1, with the activity indicated, at the time of manufacture.
Table 1. Criteria for Registration
Radionuclide

Activity greater than or equal to:

Strontium-90
Cobalt-60, Curium-244, Americium-241, Californium-252

3.7 megabecquerel (0.1 millicurie)
37 megabecquerel (1 millicurie)

Cesium-137

370 megabecquerel (10 millicurie)

Use the codes from Table 2 when correcting isotope information for devices in this section. If you do not possess a
device on this list, blacken the "not in possession of device" circle, and provide the relevant information in Section 4. Note
that each device is assigned a unique six-digit number called the NRC Device Key.

Section 3 - Additional Devices. If you have other generally licensed devices (not listed in Section 2) that meet the
conditions for registration listed in Table 1, provide information about each additional device. Before starting copy this
section as needed for your additional devices. Also indicate how you acquired each device by blackening the proper
circle.
When entering isotope and unit information for your device(s), use the codes listed in Table 2 of Section 2 for isotope
information, and use the codes from Table 3 for unit information:

Section 4 - Not in Possession of Device. Use this section to report any devices that are listed in Sections 2 or 6, but
that you no longer possess. Before starting, copy this section as needed for additional devices that are not in your
possession. Enter the NRC Device Key, as listed in Section 2 or 6. Blacken the circle (choose only one) that best
describes the disposition of the device and complete the rest of the section as appropriate.
Section 5 - Certification and Signature. The responsible individual must certify, sign, and date Section 5.
Section 6 - Devices Not Subject to Registration. This list contains information about devices that NRC records indicate
are in your possession, but are not subject to registration. If you no longer have one or more of the listed devices, you
are required to make a transfer report to NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 31.5(c)(8) or (9), as applicable. You may use
Section 4 for this purpose. This section does not list any static eliminators containing polonium-210 (Po-210), or luminous
exit signs containing tritium (H-3). These devices are not subject to registration, and are not included in this section in an
effort to reduce the length of this form.
