SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) invites public 
comment about our intention to request the OMB's approval for renewal 
of an existing information collection that is summarized below. We are 
required to publish this notice in the Federal Register 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 36--
Licenses and Radiation Safety Requirements for Irradiators.
    2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0158.
    3. How often the collection is required: Annually.
    4. Who is required or asked to report: Irradiator licensees 
licensed by NRC or an Agreement State.
    5. The number of annual respondents: 70 (10 NRC licensees and 60 
Agreement State licensees).
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement 
or request: 32,690.
    7. 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. 10 CFR Part 36 also contains the 
recordkeeping and reporting requirements that are necessary to ensure 
that the irradiator is being safely operated so that it does not pose 
any danger to the health and safety of the general public and the 
irradiator employees.
