holders of specific licenses authorizing the use of licensed 
radioactive material for radiography.
    5. The estimated number of annual respondents: 161 (35 NRC 
licensees and 126 Agreement State licensees).
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 34,933 hours. The NRC licensees total burden is 7,594 hours

byproduct material is in compliance with license and regulatory 
requirements.
