-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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: Revision.
    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: N/A.
    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 annual responses: 1,899 (NRC 
licensees--376 plus 37 recordkeepers and Agreement State licensees--
1,353 plus 133 recordkeepers).
    7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 170 (37 NRC 
Licensees and 133 Agreement State Licensees).
    8. An estimate of the total 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.
    9. An indication of whether section 3507(d), Public Law 104-13 
applies: N/A.
    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.
