SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following 
proposal for 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: Revision.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 34, 
``Licenses for Radiography and Radiation Safety Requirements for 
Radiographic Operations,'' 10 CFR Part 71, ``Packaging and 
Transportation of Radioactive Material,'' and NRC Form 313, Application 
for Material License.
    3. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 313.
    4. How often is the collection required: On occasion, such as upon 
submittal of an application for a materials license or renewal, or upon 
discovery of a leaking source.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Licensees and 
applicants requesting approvals in accordance with 10 CFR Part 34.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: Part 34--696, Part 71-- 
(-)450, NRC Form 313--450.
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 450.
    8. An estimate of the number of hours needed annually to complete 
the requirement or request: Part 34--1,440 hours for reporting 
(approximately 3.2 hours per response) plus an additional 41,406 hours 
for recordkeeping (approximately 92 hours per licensee); Part 71--(-
)1,440 hours for reporting and recordkeeping (approximately (-)3.2 
hours per response); NRC Form 313--5,850 hours for 450 licensees 
(approximately 13 hours per response).
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Applicable.
    10. Abstract: The NRC regulation, 10 CFR Part 34, specifies the 
information and data to be provided by applicants and licensees using 
byproduct material for industrial radiography. 10 CFR Part 34 has been 
revised in its entirety. The revision adds to or modifies the 
requirements to include additional training of radiographers' 
assistants, leak tests of ``S'' tubes, and specifies records to be kept 
at various locations. The revision deletes the requirement for 
radiography licensees to submit a Quality Assurance program under 10 
CFR Part 71. The revision requires the following additional information 
to be reported on NRC Form 313, Application for Materials License: 
locations and descriptions of all field stations and permanent 
radiographic installations, designation of a Radiation Safety Officer, 
and additional information on training and testing. This information is 
reviewed by NRC to ensure that the safety of radiographers and the 
public is protected.
    Submit by April 4, 1997, comments that address the following 
question:
    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?
