AGENCY: U. S. 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: 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: 867 (NRC: 188 [67 + 126 
recordkeepers] and (Agreement States: 674 [220 + 454 recordkeepers]).
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 580 (126 NRC 
licensees and 454 Agreement State licensees).
    8. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 243,922 hours. The NRC licensees total burden is 48,335 
hours (85 reporting hrs [an average of 1.3 hours per response] plus 
48,250 recordkeeping hrs [an average of 384 hours per recordkeeper]). 
The Agreement State licensees total burden is 195,587 hours (299 
reporting hrs [an average of 1.4 hours per response] plus 195,414 
recordkeeping hrs [an average of 430 hours per recordkeeper]).
    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.
