Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 34,
``Licenses for Radiography and Radiation Safety Requirements for
Radiographic Operations.''
2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0007.
3. How often the collection is required: Applications for new
licenses and amendments may be submitted at any time (on occasion).
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: 608 (529 Agreement State
licensees plus 79 NRC licensees).
6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
or request: 234,412 hours (502 reporting + 210,015.6 recordkeeping +
23,894.4 third party disclosure). The NRC licensees' total burden is
30,644.2 hours and the Agreement State licensees' total burden is
203,767.8 hours.
7. Abstract: Part 34 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR), 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.
Submit, by January 3, 2014, 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?
