NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

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 current valid OMB control number.
    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 Large Irradiators.
    3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable.
    4. How often the collection is required: On occasion. It is 
estimated that there are approximately 3 NRC and 7 Agreement State 
reports submitted annually.
    5. Who will be required or asked to report: Irradiator licensees 
licensed by NRC or an Agreement State.
    6. An estimate of the number of responses: 87 (3 NRC licensee + 7 
Agreement State licensee responses + 77 recordkeepers).
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 77 (22 NRC licensees 
and 55 Agreement State licensees).
    8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 35,975 (10,277 hours for NRC 
licensees [10,087 recordkeeping + 190 reporting] and 25,698 hours for 
Agreement State licensees [25,218 recordkeeping + 480 reporting]) or 
467 hours per licensee.
    9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 
applies: Not applicable.
    10. 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.
