(Appendix F and G provide specific guidance to 31.5 general licensees.)

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.)
- NRC Form 244 Registration Certificate — Use of Depleted Uranium Under General License
