AGENCY: U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and 
solicitation of public comment. The NRC hereby informs potential 
respondents that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and that a 
person is not required to respond to, a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

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

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following 
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 36, 
Licenses and Radiation Safety Requirements for Irradiators.
    3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable .
    4. 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.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: All irradiators 
licensed by NRC or an Agreement State
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 15 reports per year.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 60 NRC licensees and 
120 Agreement State licensees
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 84,030 hours (1500 hours for 
reporting requirements and 82,530 hours for recordkeeping requirements)
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 36 contains mandatory 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. 10 CFR 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.
