-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of
continued approval of information collections under the provisions of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:
1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 39--
Licenses and Radiation Safety Requirements for Well Logging.
2. Current OMB approval number: OMB No. 3150-0130.
3. 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.
4. Who is required or asked to report: Applicants for and holders
of specific licenses authorizing the use of licensed radioactive
material for radiography.
5. The number of annual respondents: 170 (37 NRC licensees and 133
Agreement State licensees).
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 36,890 hours. The NRC licensees total burden is 8,037 hours
(116 reporting hrs plus 7,921 recordkeeping hrs). The Agreement State
licensees total burden is 28,853 hours (423 reporting hrs plus 28,430
recordkeeping hrs). The average burden per response for both NRC
licensees and Agreement State licensees is 3.2 hours, and the burden
per recordkeeper is 214 hours.
7. 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.
Submit, by July 9, 2007, comments that address the following
questions:
1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical
utility?
2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected?
4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized,
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology?
