NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Documents Containing Reporting or Recordkeeping Requirements; 
Notice of Pending Submittal to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for Review

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information 
collection request to OMB and solicitation of public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of 
continued approval of information collections under the provisions of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 36, 
Licenses and Radiation Safety Requirements for Irradiators.
    2. Current OMB Approval Number: 3150-0158.
    3. How often the collection is required: There is a one-time 
submittal of information to receive a license. Once a specific license 
has been issued, there is a 5-year resubmittal of the information for 
renewal of the license. In addition, recordkeeping must be performed on 
an on-going basis, and reports of accidents and other abnormal events 
must be reported on an as-necessary basis.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: All irradiators licensed by 
NRC or an Agreement State.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 60 NRC licensees and 120 
Agreement State licensees.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 84,030 (approximately 467 per licensee).
    7. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 36 contains requirements for the issuance 
of a license authorizing the use of sealed sources containing 
radioactive materials in irradiators used to irradiate objects or 
materials for a variety of purposes in research, industry, and other 
fields. The subparts cover specific requirements for obtaining a 
license or license exemption; design and performance criteria for 
irradiators; and radiation safety requirements for operating 
irradiators, including requirements for operator training, written 
operating and emergency procedures, personnel monitoring, radiation 
surveys, inspection, and maintenance. Part 36 also contains the 
recordkeeping and reporting requirements that are necessary to ensure 
that the irradiator is being safely operated so that it poses no danger 
to the health and safety of the general public and the irradiator 
employees.
    Submit, by January 30, 1996, comments that address the following 
questions:
    1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC 
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical 
utility?
    2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected?
    4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized, 
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology?
