SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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. The NRC 
published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period on 
this information collection on July 5, 2011 (76 FR 39132).
    1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension.
    2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 36--
Licenses and Radiation Safety Requirements for Irradiators.
    3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0158.
    4. The form number if applicable: N/A.
    5. How often the collection is required: Annually.
    6. Who will be required or asked to report: Irradiator licensees 
licensed by NRC or an Agreement State.
    7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 79 (9 for 
reporting [1.3 NRC licensee and 7.8 Agreement State licensees] and 70 
for recordkeepers [10 NRC licensees and 60 Agreement State licensees]).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 70 (10 NRC licensees 
and 60 Agreement State licensees).
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
complete the requirement or request: 32,690.
    10. Abstract: 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. 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.
