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: Extension.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 39--
Licenses and Radiation Safety Requirements for Well Logging.
    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 will be 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: 1,408 (402 NRC licensee 
responses and 1,006 Agreement State licensee responses).
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 126 (36 NRC 
licensees and 90 Agreement State licensees).
    8. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 27,352 hours. The NRC licensees total burden is 7,815 hours 
(113 reporting hrs plus 7,702 recordkeeping hrs). The Agreement State 
licensees total burden is 19,537 hours (282 reporting hrs plus 19,255 
recordkeeping hrs). The average burden per response for both NRC 
licensees and Agreement State licensees is 21 hours.
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    10. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 39 establishes radiation safety 
requirements for the use of radioactive material in well logging 
operations. 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.
