ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and 
solicitation of public comment.

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

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). 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.
    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.
    3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    4. How often the collection is required: Applications for new 
licenses and amendments may be submitted at any time. Applications for 
renewal are submitted every 10 years. Reports are submitted as events 
occur.
    5. Who is required or asked to report: Applicants for and holders 
of specific licenses authorizing the use of licensed radioactive 
material for radiography.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 546 (156 NRC licensee 
responses and 390 Agreement State licensee responses).
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 364 (104 NRC 
licensees and 260 Agreement State licensees).
    8. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 139,644 hours. The NRC licensees total burden is 39,990 
hours (87 reporting hrs plus 39,903 recordkeeping hrs). The Agreement 
State licensees total burden is 99,654 hours (218 reporting hrs plus 
99,436 recordkeeping hrs). The average burden per response for both NRC 
licensees and Agreement State licensees is 256 hours.
    9. An indication of whether section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 34 establishes radiation safety 
requirements for the use of radioactive material in industrial 
radiography. The information in the applications, reports and records 
is used by the NRC staff to ensure that the health and safety of the 
public is protected and that licensee possession and use of source and 
byproduct material is in compliance with license and regulatory 
requirements.
